The USDA offered few surprises today. There are a few details I think are worth going over as perhaps they are relative in the medium term.

Grain Spreads: 3 Inputs for Corn
Commentary The corn market continues to rally on three fronts in my opinion. First, It is my belief that market is being supported by speculation USDA will confirm tightening old-crop carryover supplies in Wednesday’s WASDE report from USDA.
