USDA National Grain Review

ST. JOSEPH - Sep 6/13 - SNS -- The USDA issued its latest weekly national grain market review, covering the period through Sep 6.

WEEKLY NATIONAL GRAIN MARKET REVIEW
   Compared to last week, grain and soybean bids were mostly lower.  Soybeans
started out the week with sharp gains then retreated the rest of the week.  But
bullish conditions for soybeans remain with hot dry conditions and the thought
of lower yield estimates and tight supplies going forward for 2013-2014.
Markets this week felt some pressure and uncertainty with the Syria situation
hanging over the markets.  Corn continues to shrug off bullish dry conditions
and for the most part this week traded lower following normal seasonal patterns.
The corn market seems at this time to be comfortable with projected yields, as
early harvested corn in the south has had larger than expected yields.  Corn
basis also continue to push lower across the Corn Belt.  Next week USDA will
release its crop estimates report.  Wheat has little news with spring wheat
harvest underway having better than expected yields.  Wheat was mostly 6-27
cents lower.  Corn traded mostly 20-86 cents lower depending on basis changes.
Sorghum traded from 38-2.38 lower.  Soybeans closed 12-41 cents lower.
