Comments: |
| Cold, rainy weather is the theme for this weekend and moving into next week. Most farmers have their corn planted and some have all of their soybeans planted and the commodity markets show it. The corn markets have held in there due to demand interest from China but the soybean market has fallen out of bed. Soybeans have fallen to previous lows posted earlier this year and are not looking up. A strong dollar and excellent planting conditions have speculators not interested in buying soybeans at this time. Also watch the big South American crop come into play as we move into May and June. |
