A grain trader fully expects farmers in the Eastern Corn Belt to have a few more solid marketing opportunities before the end of the season.
Nick Reigler with Michigan Agricultural Commodities tells Brownfield USDA’s latest crop production estimate, along with private crop tour yield checks, have weighed on the market the past few weeks, but exports continue to guide demand.
“If we continue to see solid exports as we have prior, a lot of bushels from Michigan and a lot of bushels from our area could be working down into the river system contrary to the last couple of years,” he says.
