Market Commentary

Afternoon Comments 05/20


Continuing tightness of old crop supplies supported nearby soybean futures again Monday despite a very modest result on the weekly Export Inspections report. The large cash premium seems likely to continue adding support. Conversely, the deferred contracts may have been pressured by traders thinking speedy corn plantings would presage a similar surge in soybeans, since an early finish could translate into large harvest next fall. July soybean futures jumped 16.0 cents to $14.645/bushel at the Monday close, while July soyoil sank 0.32 cents to 49.20 cents/pound, and July soybean meal surged $10.2 to $435.3/ton.

Wet weather in Minnesota delayed May planting and now is delaying herbicide applications, which has resulted in 6 to 8 inch giant ragweed and lambsquarters in fields that weren’t burnt down prior to planting or did not receive a pre-emergence treatment.  Furthermore, poor field conditions are resulting in uneven corn stands, but, because of its application flexibility, Halex® GT herbicide is the go-to treatment for a post-emergence weed control in corn. In soybean, Paul Barchenger relies on Flexstar® GT 3.5 herbicide to take down giant ragweed, some of which is glyphosate- and ALS-resistant.
