WHEAT
General Comments: Wheat markets were higher once again yesterday. Trends are turning up in SRW but are still mixed in the other markets. Demand has shown up at current levels and there is now talk that Wheat prices are finally cheap enough. There has not been any demand news for Wheat so far this week and USDA will only issue the monthly supply and demand updates for this market.. The US Dollar remains very strong and that is hurting the ability of US exporters to sell Wheat. Saudi Arabia tendered for Wheat last week and released the results yesterday but did not show origins. Ideas are that the Wheat will be sourced from Russia and Europe. The US Winter Wheat harvest is over and the Spring Wheat harvests in the US and Canada are moving along. September can often be a month when Wheat futures bottom out but it is hard to make a case for a big rally as the US must try to compete with other world sellers for business and against Corn and other feed grains for business inside the US.
Overnight News: The southern Great Plains should get mostly dry conditions. Temperatures should be near to above normal. Northern areas should see scattered showers this week. Temperatures should be near normal. The Canadian Prairies should see mostly dry weather. Temperatures should be variable.
Chart Analysis: Trends in Chicago are up with objectives of 485 and 487 December. Support is at 478, 469, and 467 December, with resistance at 483, 486, and 496 December. Trends in Kansas City are mixed. Support is at 399, 395, and 389 December, with resistance at 406, 408, and 414 December. Trends in Minneapolis are mixed. Support is at 499, 492, and 487 December, and resistance is at 511, 514, and 518 December.

RICE
General Comments: Rice closed a little higher again yesterday and the market is trying to establish a new trend higher. The market is waiting for the USDA reports on Thursday. Traders anticipate that USDA will be able to lower yields and lower harvested area in the reports on Thursday. Field yield reports from Texas and Louisiana are less than last year in all cases and average to below average. Initial harvesting is now taking place in Mississippi, Missouri, and Arkansas. Ideas are that field yields will be less in these states as well. Milling quality is said to be good to very good at this point in the harvest. Smut has been reported in Texas away from Houston, but the smut has not affected the milling quality so far.
Overnight News: The Delta should get mostly dry conditions. Temperatures should be above normal.
Chart Analysis: Trends are mixed to up with objectives of 1211, 1213, and 1231 November. Support is at 1195, 1184, and 1174 November, with resistance at 1209, 1224, and 1233 November.

Long Grain 14.40 9.19 0.00
Medium/Short Grain 14.06 9.42 0.00
Brokens 8.69 —- —-

CORN AND OATS
General Comments: Corn closed a little higher as USDA released its updated condition ratings that showed a three-point drop in the good to excellent ratings. Support also came from the second sizable Mexican Corn purchase for the week. Current weather forecasts are now calling for moderate to above normal temperatures for the next couple of weeks and this weather would be beneficial to crop development. Traders are said to think that there will be more than enough Corn for any demand. Demand ideas remain bad with no one looking for much improvement in the short-term. The weekly export sales reports have been weaker and show that there is strong competition for sales. Domestic demand ideas remain bad after the president gave smaller oil refineries waivers from using bio fuels including ethanol. The move got the agricultural community very upset and the president is now being forced to find alternative demand for the products. That has proven difficult so far. Feed demand has been week for the last year as feeders look for other grains such as Wheat. USDA is expected to lower overall demand in its reports this week that could more than offset and reduced production estimates. USDA should cut yield estimates tomorrow but will probably not change harvested area much if at all.
Overnight News:
Chart Analysis: Trends in Corn are mixed to down with objectives of 353 December. Support is at 358, 352, and 349 December, and resistance is at 363, 365, and 368 December. Trends in Oats are mixed to up with objectives of 279 and 288 December. Support is at 272, 270, and 265 December, and resistance is at 277, 280, and 285 December.

SOYBEANS AND PRODUCTS
General Comments: Soybeans and products were higher yesterday on talk of new Chinese interest in buying US ag products going into the meetings scheduled for next month. Talk that USDA can lower production estimates also supported futures. USDA left conditions ratings close to unchanged in its updates on Monday night. Current weather outlooks call for moderate to above normal temperatures for the next two weeks, and this is great for Soybeans as the crop needs all the time it can get to finish developing after the very late start to the planting season this year. USDA production and supply and demand reports will be issued on Thursday. Analysts look for a slight reduction in yield estimates and slightly lower production when compared to June. Bearish traders and analysts look for virtually no change in the USDA estimates. The weather has been cool and is not pushing Soybeans or Corn to maturity, but this could change if the extended forecasts come to fruition. Analysts will concentrate on the USDA pod counts in this report. Producers and the Pro Farmer Crop Tour participants noted that pod counts were down sharply this year, so the traders will look to USDA to confirmed the reduced counts
Overnight News:
Chart Analysis: Trends in Soybeans are mixed. Support is at 866, 861, and 855 November, and resistance is at 879, 882, and 897 November. Trends in Soybean Meal are mixed. Support is at 291.00, 289.00, and 286.00 October, and resistance is at 296.00, 298.00, and 300.00 October. Trends in Soybean Oil are mixed. Support is at 2800, 2770, and 2740 October, with resistance at 2850, 2900, and 2930 October.

CANOLA AND PALM OIL
General Comments: Canola was lower again yesterday and trends remain down for the short-term on the charts. A stronger Canadian Dollar helped create a little selling interest. There has not been a frost or freeze yet to hurt the seed. Reports from the field indicate good yields. Palm Oil was lower on weaker demand. The market appears to be in a short-term and shallow correction now. Export data from the private sources has been lower so far this month. The market still expects limited upside potential, but the charts show that the market still has potential to move higher over time. There are ideas that there is plenty of production and supply to meet any expected demand. Stocks in Indonesia have increased for four straight months.
Overnight News: AmSpec said that Malaysian Palm Oil exports so far this month are 393,129 tons, down 23.2% from last month. SGS said that exports are now 337,570 tons so far this month, down 29% from last month.
Chart Analysis: Trends in Canola are mixed to down with objectives of 436.00 November. Support is at 437.00, 434.00, and 431.00 November, with resistance at 447.00, 450.00, and 453.00 November. Trends in Palm Oil are down with objectives of 2140 and 2090 November. Support is at 2150, 2120, and 2110 November, with resistance at 2200, 2240, and 2260 November.
