WEEKLY NATIONAL GRAIN MARKET REVIEW

   For the week grain bids and soybeans were moderate to sharply higher.  Wheat 
closed higher for the week on strength in corn.  Export sales for wheat came in 
at 178,800 tonnes for old crop and 312,900 of new crop.  Corn bids were higher 
as positioning ahead of the supply and demand report.  Weather remains 
supportive with too many areas in the corn-belt behind in planting.  Heavy 
rain moved across the Midwest most of the week keeping farmers from doing field 
work and planting. Planting progress has been very slow and more rain is still 
in the forecast. Most farmers are running 2-3 weeks behind planting. Weekly 
export sales for corn were reported at 337,200 tonnes for old crop and 63,300 
tonnes for new crop.  Soybeans closed in higher on the week as the Argentina 
farmers strike is still a threat to resume.  Weekly export sales for soybeans 
were listed at 41,100 tonnes for old crop and 239,600 tonnes for new crop.  
Wheat was mostly 28-32 cents higher.  Yellow corn was mostly 12-19 cents higher.
