Compared to two weeks ago, organic grain and feedstuff prices were steady to weak. Trading activity was slow for moderate offerings. Feed grade corn and soybeans were steady to weak. Small grains were lower on heavy supplies. Feed corn and soybeans prices were pressured by lack of producer selling. With corn and soybean harvests approaching many producers are waiting to see which direction the organic market will settle.
All prices FOB price per bushel except where stated (trucking cost needs to be added)
