New crop prospects appear solid for increased production in the coming year. The area is larger and the growing conditions are mostly good. The combination of good export buying in general and the buying inside the US due to the Coronavirus has made the market short old crop Rice.

CORN AND OATS
General Comments: Corn was lower in response to better growing conditions in the Midwest. Rains fell in many of the drier areas of the Midwest in the last week and greatly benefited the crops. Private weather consultants now suggest that just 15% of the crop is too dry. The Midwest is cooler than the last few weeks and some rains are in the forecast. There have also been problems with demand. Meats processors are back and are close to capacity but the backlog of heavyweight cattle and hogs still exists. Ethanol demand is also improving as lock down orders are lifter in most states and in Europe. Demand for gasoline and ethanol has gotten a little stronger but could turn static now. Recent reverses by some states on opening orders are hurting demand ideas for ethanol. US Corn prices are high in the world market so export sales are expected to be less.

SOYBEANS AND PRODUCTS
General Comments: Soybeans were a little lower as the US weather improved for growing Soybeans. Better Chinese demand is still around as China was a buyer again yesterday after buying most of last week. China has promised to ramp up purchases in order to comply with commitments it made under the Phase One trade deal. China has remained a very active buyer in South America even as it has increased Soybeans buying here in the US, so the overall amount taken from the US might not match the hopes of the trade. Brazil prices have been creeping higher for the rest of the world as it starts to run out of Soybeans to export, so China and the rest of the world will look to the US and Argentina for additional supplies. The US weather is considered good for growing Soybeans at this time due to rain and cooler temperatures. Many Soybeans appear short in the central Midwest right now.

CANOLA AND PALM OIL
