WHEAT
General Comments: Wheat was higher on ideas of increasing demand potential as world prices rallied on short supplies, especially in Russia. Dry weather in southern Russia as well as the northern US Great Plains and Canadian Prairies remains a supportive feature in the market although the US and Canada are seeing some showers this week. Trends in Winter Wheat markets are still mixed. Crop size estimates in Russia have been reduced. The Russian weather has been good for production in northern and western areas but is still trending dry in southern areas and into Kazakhstan. Some showers are no in the forecast for the drier areas but are not expected to help much. The weather in China and Europe is wet and there is potential for reduced quality in Europe. Europe is expecting top yields in some areas but less yield in others and parts of eastern Europe and northern Russia are expecting strong yields.
Overnight News: The southern Great Plains should get isolated showers. Temperatures should be near to above
normal. Northern areas should see mostly dry conditions. Temperatures will be near normal. The Canadian Prairies should see isolated showers or dry conditions. Temperatures should average near to below normal.
Chart Analysis: Trends in Chicago are mixed. Support is at 709, 695, and 690 September, with resistance at 732, 735, and 756 September. Trends in Kansas City are mixed. Support is at 688, 678, and 658 September, with resistance at 725, 735, and 756 September. Trends in Minneapolis are mixed. Support is at 905, 891, and 888 September, and resistance is at 936, 95, and 960 September.

RICE:
General Comments: Rice closed higher despite the ongoing harvest in Texas and Louisiana. A delayed harvest is expected in Mississippi and Arkansas. The harvest is now expanding through southern growing areas. Initial yield reports and quality reports have been acceptable to many in Texas and are called good in Louisiana. Smut has been reported in Texas but the smut is coming off the grain in the cleaning process. The smut problem appears to be worse around Houston. The harvest pace is expected to be slow due to ongoing showers in both regions and farther into the north. Ideas of average yields are also heard in Arkansas and Mississippi. Growing conditions have been mixed at best with many areas getting too much rain. Chart trends are sideways. Asian prices were a little higher last week.
Overnight News: The Delta should get isolated showers. Temperatures should be near to below normal.
Chart Analysis: Trends are mixed. Support is at 1318, 1308, and 1294 September, with resistance at 1341, 1355, and 1358 September.

CORN AND OATS:
General Comments: Corn was lower on fund selling tied to news from the Pro Farmer tour and on ideas of less ethanol demand if the EPA changes the fuel blending requirements as expected. Funds were the best sellers. The Pro Farmer crop tour concluded on Friday has estimated US Corn production at 15.116 billion bushels with yields of 177 bushels per acre.. The weather remains a feature of the trade but is less important now as pollination is done and the Corn is filling kernels and starting to mature. Some forecasts call for improved weather, especially in the eastern belt. The growing conditions in the US are highly variable and not likely to produce trend line or record yields. It is still too dry in many areas of the west and drier weather is expected in the east. Some showers are in the forecast for the west but it is still hot. Ideas are that Brazil Corn production could be less than 85 million tons so reduced production estimates are expected in coming reports. Oats were higher as the weather remains bad for production even with the crop near harvest. The uncertain weather in the northern Great Plains and Canadian Prairies remains the best support for the market. Canadian Oats areas and those in the northern Great Plains remain too hot and dry. Some rain is now in the forecast but is too little and too late to materially help crops.
Overnight News: Mexico bought 125,000 tons of US Corn.
Chart Analysis: Trends in Corn are mixed to down with objectives of 495 September. Support is at 531, 516, and 505 September, and resistance is at 550, 5757, and 5761 September. Trends in Oats are mixed. Support is at 494, 489, and 475 September, and resistance is at 520, 526, and 532 September.

SOYBEANS
General Comments: Soybeans and Soybean Oil were higher but Soybean Meal was lower on spreads against Soybean Oil. Demand threats mostly surfaced late in the week and were caused by reports that the EPA was about to submit to the White House new bio fuels blending requirements that could call for less bio fuels demand. Crude Oil was up a lot yesterday, so Soybean Oil was able to hold and rally. US weather is still a feature in the market as it remains hot in the west and is dry in just about all areas now. Eastern Midwest areas should be cooler and western and northern areas are expected to get showers. Soybeans conditions in central production area started the year too wet and have suffered some production losses. Pro Farmer estimated US Soybeans production at 4.436 billion bushels with a yield of 51.2 bushels per acre.
Overnight News: China bought 132,000 tons of US Soybeans.
Chart Analysis: Trends in Soybeans are down with objectives of 1232 September. Support is at 1281, 1267, and 1260 September, and resistance is at 1313, 13630, and 1345 September. Trends in Soybean Meal are mixed. Support is at 347.00, 342.00, and 341.00 September, and resistance is at 354.00, 359.00, and 364.00 September. Trends in Soybean Oil down with objectives of 5600, 5170, and 5000 September. Support is at 5710, 5440, and 5310 September, with resistance at 6010, 6200, and 6320 September

CANOLA AND PALM OIL
General Comments: Palm Oil closed lower last week on demand concerns. Exports so far this month have not been strong. Futures are still a trading range market on ideas of tight supplies due to labor problems. There are just not enough workers in the fields due to Coronavirus restrictions. Production has also been down to more than offset the export losses so prices have trended higher. Canola closed higher on price action in Chicago and Malaysia. Damaging weather continues in the Canadian Prairies and northern Great Plains but some showers are in the forecast for this week. Production ideas are down due to the extreme weather seen in these areas. It remains generally dry and warm in the Prairies. The Prairies crops are in big trouble now due to previous hot and dry weather and the rains are coming too late.
Overnight News:
Chart Analysis: Trends in Canola are down with objectives of 816, 804, and 744 November. Support is at 850.00, 823.00, and 807.00 November, with resistance at 908.00, 940.00, and 949.00 November. Trends in Palm Oil are mixed. Support is at 4160, 4050, and 3970 November, with resistance at 4360, 4430, and 4530 November.

Midwest Weather Forecast: Isolated showers north and west, showers and storms south and east. Temperatures should average near normal.
