per acre. The Illinois soybean crop was expected to average 43 bushels per acre

Illinois grains-Grain futures ended mixed at the Chicago Board of Trade, with
wheat higher and corn and soybeans moving lower. Many traders looked forward to
the USDA's crop report on Friday. Many wanted to take profits on positions and
head to the sidelines or bet the USDA would increase the size of the US soybean
crop and sell the market. Wheat futures would get a boost from stronger European
prices and low crop condition ratings from the southern plain states. Corn
futures continue to get pressure from poor export sales figures and export
interest.
The size of the US corn and soybean crop increased from the October forecasts,
in the USDA's Crop Production and Supply Demand reports released Friday morning.
If you were one of those traders betting on a larger soybean crop, you would
have been correct. The US soybean crop was forecasted to be 2.971 billion
bushels in the November report, up from 2.86 billion in October. The average
yield was up to 39.3 bushels per acre, up from 37.8 in October. The size of the
corn crop was also estimated to be a little bigger than the October forecast.
The US corn production was estimated at 10.725 billion bushels, up from 10.706
billion in October. The average yield also received a boost from 122.0 bushels
per acre in October to 122.3 bpa in the November report. Ending stock
estimates were also larger than the October forecast with soybeans at 140
million bushels, corn at 647 million and wheat at 704 million bushels.
The Illinois numbers for yield and production were also up in the November
report. The average yield for corn increased from 98 bushels per acre in
October to 101 bpa in the November report that also would compare to 157 bpa
last year. Corn production in Illinois this year was forecasted at 1.252
billion bushels. The average soybean yield also went up in the November report.
This month the average soybean yield was forecasted at 43 bpa, up from 39 bpa
last month and compares to 48 bpa last year. Soybean production in Illinois was
forecasted to be 378.4 million bushels.
The drier weather last week helped farmers make good progress with soybean
harvest. According to the USDA's Illinois Weather and Crops report, from the
Illinois Field Office in Springfield, the Illinois corn harvest had reached 98%
complete, compared to 94% last week and 77% for the five year average. The
soybean crop was 96% harvested in the state of Illinois, compared to 87% last
week and 87% for the five year average. Wheat planting was 96% done, compared to
81% last week and 86% for the five year average. Our young Illinois wheat crop
was in much better shape than the crop in the southern plains. The Illinois
crop placed 78% in the good to excellent range, with 21% fair and only 1% rated
poor.
The trading in the cash grain market was slow to moderate. Many grain
merchandisers switched their spot basis month from November (X) to January (F),
so there will be no comparison on spot basis in many cases. Cash basis was mixed
for the week, but felt weaker than it was. The Central Illinois Soybean
Processors cash bids dropped 57 to 63 cents to 15.10-15.13, with basis at +14F
to +17F. The Central Illinois Corn Processors cash bids were down 10 cents
ranging from 7.41-7.51, with basis steady ranging from option Z to +10Z. At the
Illinois River terminals south of Peoria, cash corn bids ended 7 to 13 cents
lower ranging from 7.25-7.36, with basis mixed at -16Z to -5Z. Cash soybean bids
lost 63 to 64 cents at 14.96-15.02, with basis ranging from option F to +6F. New
crop wheat bids for delivery in July 2013 ended 18 to 21 cents higher ranging
from 8.63-8.65, with basis steady to 3 cents higher at -32N to -30N. At the
Illinois River terminals north of Peoria, cash corn bids fell 5 cents to 7.28-
7.31, with basis 5 cents higher at -13Z to -10Z. Cash soybean bids were down 55
cents to 14.94-14.98, with basis ranging from -2F to +2F. New crop wheat bids
for July 2013 delivery gained 18 cents to range from 8.68-8.70, with basis
steady at -27N to -25N. At the St. Louis terminals cash corn bids were up 5 to
15 cents at 7.26-7.42, with soybeans down 42 to 52 cents ranging from 15.10-
15.11. Cash bids for Soft Red Winter wheat gained 37 cent to 8.90-8.91 and cash
sorghum bids were 20 cents lower to range from 6.90-6.91.
In northern and western Illinois, cash corn bids to producers at country
elevators were 6 to 13 cents lower at 7.23-7.33, with central Illinois locations
down 10 to 14 cents at 7.31-7.48 and in southern Illinois bids lost 6 to 22
cents to range from 7.05-7.55. Cash soybean bids in northern and western

down 64 to 73 cents at 14.78-14.91 and southern Illinois bids fell 56 to 58
cents to range from 14.76-14.99. Cash wheat bids for Soft Red Winter wheat in
southern Illinois locations gained 44 to 49 cents to 8.85-9.03. New crop wheat
bids for June-July delivery in southern Illinois gained 18 to 19 cents to range
from 8.39-8.66.
