Grain
Grain remains decisive into the end of the week with nearby corn still leading on strong basis/exports. After weeks of quiet, almost inactivity, the pace of U.S. exports has picked up with 500,000 metric tons of corn sold over the past week and, reportedly, a number of soybean cargos, perhaps up to 1 million metric tons, were sold to China. Deteriorating weather in Argentina and large sections of Brazil over the past month has pared anticipated South American production of both corn and soybeans and that seems to have kicked some export business back to the U.S. Furthermore, it appears that both Russia and Ukraine have reduced the amount of grain they will export due to logistical constraints and trepidations about selling too much given the ongoing drought impacting much of their winter wheat crop.

Waterhemp has been a challenge for growers for the past 20 plus years and has respectfully received the title of public enemy number one for Midwest growers. Researchers agree that farmers should develop their weed management strategies as if all waterhemp is resistant to one or more herbicides and plan long-term management strategies.
