Wheat closed the 2013/2014 marketing year with a marketing year low for sales. Corn and soybean sales were also down. Soybean exports increased significantly following consecutive weeks of decline. Corn and wheat exports both decreased. The USDA Crop Progress report released this week showed significant improvement in corn and soybean planting across the U.S. Emergence for both crops was also at or above the five-year average. Wheat conditions remained stable, but yield expectations are well below average. Recent rain in wheat growing areas has arrived too late in the drought stricken Wheat Belt. Weekly U.S. net corn sales for the week ending May 29th in the 2013/2014 marketing year were 550,700 metrics tons (MT), a 11% decrease from the previous week and a 19% decrease from the prior 10-week average.
