WEEKLY NATIONAL GRAIN MARKET REVIEW
Compared to last week, grain and soybean bids were lower with corn trading
slight to moderately higher. Grains saw losses on liquidation selling as
recession fears tied to Europe swept across the grain complex. The dollar
traded higher in response to the weaker Euro. Corn posted gains on strong
export sales for the week. Corn planting progress is ahead of schedule at 53
percent of the corn completed. Wheat also followed other grains lower. Ample
world wheat stocks are meeting global demands and limiting buyer interest. The
winter wheat areas have received sufficient rain and warm weather with crop
growth ahead of schedule. Weekly export sales for corn were well above
