In Illinois, Reuters reported that two cargo vessels were headed for grain port terminals near New Orleans to load with the first U.S. soybean shipments to China since May.
A third vessel was en route to a Texas Gulf Coast grain terminal to be loaded with China-bound U.S. sorghum in the coming days in what will be the first American shipment of the feed grain to China since mid-March, according to the report.
U.S. farmers and grain traders have been awaiting shipments to China to resume after Beijing shunned U.S. crops for months due to a trade war with Washington, the report added.
