Grain Markets

By Greg Mockenhaupt, Grain Market Contributor

Markets 5/19/14 @ 8:33am

Corn -2 @ 4.81, December -1 @ 4.80

Beans unchanged 14.65, November +5@12.27

-Markets are mixed this morning, with lower corn & wheat, and higher new crop soybeans

-Planting progress is expected to be over 70% for corn and 30% for soybeans this afternoon with the majority of the corn left in the northern states.

-Most are talking of more soybean acres with the “late” planting and less corn acres, however markets have been counter-intuitive as new corn has broke from highs and new beans stay strong

-Look for strong corn export inspections on the report later today
