AM Outlook - Waiting on Exports

GOOD MORNING, Prices are higher on the early night session as charts build on gains and on chatter that China has been actively purchasing US beans.  The reversal trade on Friday for corn and beans showed promise, but would still call the bean rally a "relief" rally from the lows, while corn had to see a better volume, high settlement trade to generate excitement.  Think that we are now in for congestive trade off our lows.  It may not take much to send us back towards them, with beans showing more gusto on the climb higher. August NOPA crush will be released at 11:00 central time, and advertised expectations are for an estimated 154.183 mln bu, vs. 155.105 mln bu in July.  Soyoil ending stocks are advertised at 1.555...

From WPI Consulting

Illuminating the value of technical research

On behalf of a commodity producer organization, WPI evaluated the outputs from a project that featured a $5 million investment into technical research over multiple years. WPI’s team captured the results of this extensive effort and synthesized them for presentation to the organization’s governing board; among the findings uncovered and presented for the first time was the development of genomic traits proven, via rigorous testing, to provide crop yield advantages of 50 percent or more to U.S. farmers in times of drought. Capturing measurable results from long-term efforts can be challenging. Educating clients on the dynamics of success measurement when quantifiable results are not readily available requires deep client-consultant collaboration and an ability to consider both near- and long-term client aspirations with market/policy dynamics – attributes that WPI brings to every consulting engagement.
