Eastern Cornbelt (Springfield, IL)
6/13/09
Compared to two weeks ago, organic grain and feedstuff prices were steady. Demand was light to moderate for moderate offerings. Trading activity was very light. Market uncertainties and heavy old crop supplies of corn and soybeans have created a market which is difficult to predict. Feed grade corn is traded steady and feed grade soybeans were steady to firm.

All prices FOB price per bushel except where stated (trucking cost needs to be added)
