(The Crop Site) US – Compared to last week, grain bids closed higher with soybeans trading  moderately lower.

Soybeans opened sharply lower in reaction to the bearish USDA  report last Friday, harvest pressure and better than expected yields.  However,  some support was noted due a lower U.S. dollar and good weekly export sales  which limited the losses.
Corn bids recovered posting solid gains as basis  levels were firm in reaction to slow producer selling, along with a lower dollar  offering a boost.  Corn harvest continues at a record pace of 54 percent  completed and soybeans at 40 percent early in the week.
Wheat was higher  despite lower than expected export sales and rain reported in the dry areas of  the southern plains.  The winter wheat is at 40 percent planted early in the  week.
Weekly export sales for wheat came in at 307,000 tonnes for the current  marketing year and none for the next year.  Export sales for corn came in at a  total of 326,900 tonnes, all for the current marketing year and soybeans came in  at 1,296,600 tonnes for the current marketing year and 6,300 for the next.
Wheat was 8-27 cents higher.  Corn was mostly 40-52 cents higher.  Sorghum was  74-82 cents higher.  Soybeans were 16-29 cents lower.
