In Missouri, Brownfield reported that the USDA reported a mixed start to the calendar year for U.S. export inspections.
Corn inspections during the week ending January 1 fell below the previous week but was more than double this time last year as the strong sales from earlier in the marketing year leave U.S. ports, according to the report.
While soybean inspections were solid, they’re still well behind the year ago pace due to the relatively slow demand from China, the report added. Sorghum did see a strong improvement on the week and year thanks to China resuming purchases from the U.S. Wheat inspections are showing some signs of slowing down as rising global supplies flood the export market.
