The USDA says export sales for several key commodities were above average during the week ending December 10th. China was a factor for the improved sales of corn, soybeans, wheat, sorghum, cotton, and pork, with Mexico also showing solid interest in most of those products. Beef, soybean meal, and rice sales had good week to week improvements, while it was a slow week for bean oil. The USDA’s next export sales report will be out Wednesday, December 23rd with the USDA closed on Christmas Eve.
