The Hightower Report said, “Corn closed lower as weekend rains fell in the 3 “I” states (Iowa, Illinois, Indiana) and additional rain is expected this week. However, heat indices in Illinois by midweek could reach 100-110 degrees and Indiana 98-102. The driest areas will stay south of a line from Denver to Kansas City to St. Louis.” Amanda Brill at Total Farm Marketing said, “Weekly corn export inspections came in below expectations, with U.S. exporters shipping just 984,000 metric tons (38.7 million bushels). While total exports remain 29% above last year, the weak showing followed an already disappointing sales report, fueling worries about demand erosion amid Brazil’s record harvest.”
