ST. JOSEPH - Jun 20/14 - SNS -- The USDA issued its latest weekly national grain market review, covering the period through Jun 20.

WEEKLY NATIONAL GRAIN MARKET REVIEW
   Compared to last week, grain and soybean bids traded higher.  Corn and
soybeans opened the week lower as pressure came from large crop outlook and high
crop ratings.  Soybeans saw additional declines from concerns that demand might
fall in reaction to the DDG situation with China.  However, the markets turned
into positive territory on increase ethanol production and good export demand.

corn-belt are saturated and flooded lending further support to grains.  The corn
crop was rated 76 percent good to excellent, the highest rating for the week
since 1999.  Soybeans were rated 73 percent good to excellent, the highest
rating for the week since 1986.  The USDA report listed soybeans at 92 percent
planted.  Wheat also saw gains from quality concerns as areas of the hard red
