**** 6-10 Day Forecast: Normal to Below Temps. Normal to Above Precip East, Below West.
****n Grain markets mixed this morning. Soybeans firmer following thru on yesterday’s rally fueled by
record weekly export inspections and a bullish NOPA crush report. Corn weaker as export inspection
were slow and US Corn remains too high priced to compete on the world markets.
Trade will continue to watch Brazil and Argentine weather closely. So far conditions are for the most part
good but planting has run behind normal.
