September USDA Report Bearish [Listen]

The USDA released the September Supply Demand Report this morning at 11:00. Just looking at the numbers and the initial market reaction it was very bullish for corn and beans! I did get signed up to receive the USDA reports in my email as soon as they are released. So, I saw the numbers before I talked with Gordy on the sir at 11:15. It would take a long time to read all the numbers just on the grains in the report.

There are just two numbers I look for that tells me if the report is bearish or bullish for corn and beans. In the course grains section I look for the USDA projected change in the season average price for corn. In the oil seeds section I look for the average season price for soybeans.

In the report this morning the USDA dropped the season average price for corn 30 cents a bushel and 80 cents a bushel for soybeans. After the release corn was sharply lower along with beans. However, in the noon hour December corn is now up 10 cents a bushel and November beans up 24 cents a bushel. Maybe the harvest lows are again this year coming in early just before harvest?
