Wheat futures were lower overnight on signs of weak demand for U.S. supplies despite Australia lowering its outlook for its crop. Wheat was down 3-4 cents, corn moved less than a penny and soybeans were up about 2 cents. Wheat sales and exports so far this year are down 25% and 33% year-over-year since the start of the marketing year on June 1, according to the USDA. Export inspections for the week through Sept. 6 were down for corn while being higher for beans and wheat. In weather news, flood warnings are still in effect for several counties in Missouri and Illinois today. On the East Coast, Hurricane Florence is heading toward the Carolina coasts and is expected to make landfall Thursday or Friday. Get all the details in today's 3 Big Things.

West Texas Intermediate = up 0.2%.

Brent Crude = up 0.6%.

Dollar = up 0.1%.

Wall Street = U.S. stock lower pre-market.

World Markets = Global stocks mostly lower overnight.

Crooks.

Just seems appropriate since there is so little wheat in storage.

Not sure what we have any more, but to call it a "market" is ludicrous.

Saw a report of an early killing freeze in China in soy country.

Not sure this new information age is as conducive to large market up swings as the good 'ol days.

Based on the hundreds of semis finding their way to the eplant everyday and only one of them had new crop on it yesterday, we are not in eminent danger of a shortage.

Same with trucks finding their way to the bean crushing plant. Huge new crop on the verge of harvest there too.

Watched a truck just ahead of me get gate cut at the scales yesterday.

After I dumped I had to sign a basis contract. The phone was warm in there, the head buyer stated "WE DO NOT BUY BEANS" a coop had sent a load of corn with a high % of beans blended in. Oops

Lol, crooks , oh it’s appropriate

I missed ya Illini,

Hobby  It always pops into my head............ when eplants get picky.    

One would think that the energy in a bean would convert to ethanol also..... but If not, why did we think we could wrap all manner of cellulosic fiber in a bale and make ethanol out of everything that got hauled in an shove through a grinder???

It looks like a problem.... ethanol wants to a Grade A grain to grind at a "floor sweepin cheap as possible" price..... Yet they store their cheap harvest bushels on the ground and while  they pick through your load trying to find a parts per million reason to send you home, they haul their ground stored grain into the pits and stomp the dirt chunks and wet spots and frozen edges through the grates.

But lets face it ,,,the fewer handle it .... the less problems.    Screams Vertical Integration.....   

No pride left in  being a "grower".........

I hear you SW. I had a couple thousand bushels of wheat leftover in bin thinking with all the disasters around the globe with wheat production that the wheat price would be climbing to $8-$10/bushel. Well somehow with production shortfalls the price has managed to drop a dollar a bushel instead. So here I sit with my thumb up my you know what wondering what just happened? Not only do I have the carryover grain but all my new crop production not priced, wondering how low the price gets before I give it away. I know there are the really smart guys out there that will say there was big prices to lock grain in and I was greedy but unfortunately for me the local elevator price was higher when the price was lower in April as for every cent the futures came up the basis rose 2 cents. If it's not the futures stealing the grain it's the local elevators.
