Comments: |
| The weather has been miserable over the last week providing cold, wet conditions across most of the midwest. Some areas experienced a ground covering frost that depending on the crop stage will do some damage to potential yields. Markets are steady to higher after last weeks down turn. Corn rallied due to speculative buying at the beginning of this week. Prices will go higher until farmers sell enough corn to turn prices back lower. Also increased demand rumors from China still have are being talked about in the corn market helping prices move higher. |
