Market Commentary 

We have been seeing some new crop beans trickling into the Upper Sandusky elevator this week along with more old crop corn and beans as people are trying to clear out the bins for fall harvest.

Good afternoon. It was another rainless week here in central Ohio, but we did get a reprieve from last week's nasty heat. They say rain is coming tonight, but I’m not holding my breath.

Good afternoon. What a fantastic week of weather we have had, other than no rain, once again. Sounds like the furnace door gets opened back up for the next 10 days or so with no real chances for any rains.

Good afternoon. We had all kinds of information come out this week. To start things off, we had the USDA make some big changes in acreage from the June report. Corn acres were down some 700,000 for the upcoming harvest, wheat was down 900,000, and soybeans were up ...

Good afternoon. I can’t believe it’s the end of yet another week. Rains seemed to be scattered at best this week. I heard reports from some of 2+ inches, while others got just trace amounts.

It's a new month, and we are seeing green on the screen, even though StoneX came out with yield estimates that are higher than USDA’s numbers. There have been trouble spots in the corn belt, but their survey says that the rest of the corn belt is making up for it.

Good afternoon. Once again, another month has just absolutely flown by. Not much rain to report this week, as I believe I had a total of 3 tenths at home.

Good afternoon. Another week that has just flown by. I was a bit surprised on Monday night when crop ratings came out, and Ohio was lower for both corn and soybeans in the good to excellent category.

Good afternoon. Another week of the grain markets making new lows. The fund managers are aggressively adding to their short positions in all three of our major grain commodities.

Good afternoon. I hope everyone had a lovely July 4th holiday. Earlier in the week, we did see the bulk of the wheat harvest here in west central Ohio get wrapped up. Yields, for the most part, were good, not quite like last year, but they were good.
