Illinois Grain Prices in Country Elevators

This is Thursday's report of the grain prices and trends prepared by the 
USDA and the Illinois Department of Agriculture.
  
Illinois country grain prices were sharply higher on Thursday afternoon. 
Stronger corn futures helped to pull soybeans and wheat higher. A lower than
expected corn carryout figure fueled today's rally in the futures market. 
While the US corn production was estimated to be 10.70 billion bushels in 
the USDA's report, the carryout figure was lowered to just 619 million bushels.

In Northern and Western Illinois country grain dealers quoted shelled corn 
bids 37 cents higher at 7.50-7.63. Soybean bids were 26 to 27 cents higher at 
15.17-15.29.
 
In Central Illinois country grain dealers quoted shelled corn bids were 
mostly 35 to 37 cents higher at 7.62-7.76. Soybean bids were 25 to 27 cents 
higher at 15.30-15.40. 

In the Southern part of the state, shelled corn bids were 35 to 36 cents higher 
at 7.69-7.85. Soybean bids were 20 to 28 cents higher at 15.23-15.49. Wheat
