Illinois country grain prices were
mixed but mostly lower on Tuesday afternoon.
Corn futures weakened due to a
warmer and drier extended weather forecast for the cornbelt.
Traders gave farmers a chance to
make some progress with corn planting over the next 7 to 10
days.
Soybean futures were given a boost
from the sale of 392,000 tonnes of US soybeans to China for the
2013-2014 crop year.
In Northern and Western Illinois country grain dealers quoted
shelled corn bids were 4 to 8 cents lower at 6.33-6.50.
Soybean bids were mixed at
14.09-14.30.
In Central Illinois country grain dealers quoted shelled corn
bids were 8 cents lower at 6.33-6.50.

lower at 14.19-14.39.

cents lower at 6.23-6.63.

cents lower at 14.35-14.60.
