Minn/Chicago traded up to our sale target at 1.95-97 Minneapolis over, but as we suggested …

John WalshGrains

It is time to pay close attention to the Ags. The south American weather is giving a opportunity to producers that may not exist. Beans are getting a ride on Corns coattails here. Bizarre to me the Corn has not moved that much. The weather down south has had a impact on the corn production. In contrast the Brazilian bean crop …

John WalshGrains

The Soy complex continues to work higher. The November contract traded as high as 1017 today. The target I have spoken of is 1015-1020. We have yet to reach the 1020 on this recent rally.

We have achieved the first target level of +/- …
