Olympia FFA Feed the Farmer: Monday, Oct 18th from 5:00-6:00.
Good morning. It has been a mixed overnight session, but overall ranges were small. Corn traded only in a 3-cent range overnight. Oats are lower. Cotton is higher. Malaysian palm oil was higher this morning. Bean oil flat. Energies are higher while equities are weaker. Soybean cutting started up again over the weekend and should continue in earnest this week. Today looks like one of the nicest days of the fall. A small rain chance exists mid-week. Patchy frost is possible Saturday morning. The extended forecast is a touch wetter this morning, but warm. Producer needs to get after those beans. Export inspections will be out this morning. Crop progress is out this afternoon. Bean harvest is expected near 62 to 65% (last week at 49%). Corn harvest is expected at 53 to 55% (last week at 41%). Paris wheat futures into new highs overnight. Russian wheat export prices at the highest level since August of 2012. China imported 3.53 MMT of corn in September with year-to-date totals at 24.93 MMT. AgRural estimated the Brazil bean planting at 22% complete, the 2nd fastest rate on record. First corn planting at 45% done. The trade will be watching for additional sales announcements early this week. It should be an active harvest week across the Midwest, which may tend to limit the upside on grains. Broad ranges, however, are still expected over the near term. Have a good day.
