Corn Soybeans and Wheat all Up after Overnight Session

Drought Expected to Persist Throughout ND, SD and MT

Kevin Blog Headshot Headshot

In the overnight session the grains traded higher with December corn up 2 cents, November soybeans up 7 ½ cents and December Chicago wheat up 1 ½ cents this morning. The strong export sales reported yesterday coupled with dryness in both Moto Grosso and Parana are helping to support prices this morning.

The dryness in Brazil is not an immediate threat but it has slowed the pace of planting which starts mid-September and continues through November. Some areas haven’t received rain in nearly a month and are taking longer than usual to come out of the dry season. Weather forecasters are expecting some precipitation in the 6-15 day forecast but confidence in the likely distribution is low. Although the the recent dryness is unlikely to have any impact on the crop, it puts emphasis on receiving more precipitation in October.
