Market Analysis
Brady Huck with Advance Trading, Inc. says corn continues to grind into new contract lows with a strong crop rating of 73% good to excellent on Monday and StoneX’s record 188.1 bushel yield forecast.
Tommy Grisafi with Nesvick Trading Company says soybeans and meal both saw a short covering bounce after a long string of lower days, while corn made more contract lows.
So far pollination and disease issues are being discounted by the corn market. The key to how low prices could fall is dependent on just how much above 181 the corn yield is and will it show up in the Aug. 12 WASDE ?
Brad Kooima of Kooima Kooima Varilek says cattle futures started higher early Monday on the heels of record cash. Grains tried to bounce but may have a tough time holding any gains with favorable weather, big yield ideas and trade uncertainty.
Bryan Doherty with Total Farm Marketing says grain markets were lower on Friday and for the week with pressure coming from non-threatening weather, big yield ideas as well as trade concerns tied to tariffs.

Alan Brugler, A&N Economics, says soybeans sank on demand concerns with large global supplies and China continuing to buy from South America. November soybeans fell below $10 and project even lower.
