Illinois Grain Prices at Country Elevators

This is Thursday's report of the grain prices and trends prepared by the USDA and the Illinois Department of Agriculture.

Illinois country grain prices were higher on Thursday afternoon. The outlook for lower world wheat production and strong weekly export sales figures helped to lift wheat values at the Board of Trade. Export sales for wheat were above expectations at 919,900 tonnes. Export sales figures also pushed soybean values higher as sales were also above expectations. Sales totaled 1.48 million tonnes for both old and new crop.

In Northern and Western Illinois country grain dealers quoted shelled corn bids were mostly 1 to 3 cents higher at 3.26-3.38. Soybean bids were 7 to 14 cents higher at 9.98-10.15.

In Central Illinois country grain dealers quoted shelled corn bids were 3 cents higher at 3.41-3.60. Soybean bids were mostly 7 to 15 cents higher at 10.25-10.33. Wheat bids were up 12 cents at 5.75-5.93. In the Southern part of the state, shelled corn bids were 3 cents higher at 3.45-3.69. Soybean bids were 11 to 16 cents higher at 10.25-10.42. Wheat bids were mostly 7 to 9 cents higher at 5.59-5.84. Milo bids were 3 to 5 cents higher at 3.05-3.55.
