WHEAT:
General Comments: Wheat was a little higher in Chicago and lower in Kansas City last week after an early rally based on reports of more war between Ukraine and Russia faded. The president of Ukraine said that his country and Rusia would sit down soon to try to find a way for grains exports to resume from both countries The price action was also tied to reports of reduced exports due to increased tensions in the Black Sea with Ukrainian bombing keeping Russia unable to ship anything through the Azov Sea and world weather. The Winter Wheat harvest is almost over. Spring Wheat is being harvested and is rated 51% good to excellent in reports released a week ago excellent. Conditions are good in the US Midwest, but Europe has been too hot. The weather is now featuring scattered showers for parts of the Midwest along with moderate temperatures after a got week last week. The Great Plains should stay hot and dry.
Overnight News:
Chart Analysis: Trends in Chicago are mixed. Support is at 646, 626, and 620 September, with resistance at 711, 718, and 724 September. Trends in Kansas City are mixed.

RICE:
General Comments Rice closed lower yesterday and well off the highs of the day. The highs were hit early in the session. Brazil prices are also strong on ideas of short production and El Nino fears for production on the next crop. Condition was little changed from the previous week. Harvest is active in most states and is 27% complete. Demand remains moderate to poor for US Rice and was moderate last week. El Nino is threatening production in Asia and Indian prices remain high, Trends are up on the daily charts and are turning up on the weekly charts,

CORN AND OATS
General Comments: Corn was higher yesterday on the results of the Pro Farmer tour. Pro Farmer estimated the US yield at 173.2 bu/acre and total production at 15.344 billion bushels. The estimate is the lowest heard by us so far this year and well below the August estimates from USDA. We made a quick crop tour of Indiana and Illinois two weeks ago and over the following weekend. Yield reports were generally good but below last year. We purposely sought to find good looking fields. Many fields were yellowing from nitrogen loss from too much rain and some fields had lower leaves dying due to the rain and heat alternating. This was true for much of the eastern and northern Midwest. There is still too much hot and dry weather in the western and southern Midwest but moderating conditions in Europe. Ukraine and Russia are back at war again and shipping is very limited in both countries. It should be cooler with drier weather in the Midwest this week. The crop conditions are lower than last week and below aa year ago. Maturity is starting and progress is ahead of normal with maturity under way. Temperatures in the Midwest should be cooler this week. Oats were near unchanged last week.
Overnight News:
Chart Analysis: Trends in Corn are mixed . Support is at 468, 461, and 457 September, and resistance is at 484, 490, and 496 September. Trends in Oats are mixed. Support is at 307,to up 300, and 294 September, and resistance is at 333, 349, and 347 September.

SOYBEANS
General Comments: Soybeans and Soybean Oil were lower and Soybean Meal was a little higher yesterday on the Pro Farmer estimates. Pro Farmer estimated the US yield at 53.3 bu/acre and the total US production at 4.572 billion bushels. Both estimate are above the USDA August estimates. The rain caused some significant ponding in Illinois and Indiana as seen from our brief crop tour two weeks ago and over the following weekend. It is still mostly hot and dry in the southern and western Midwest. Leaves are starting to drop according to USDA this week and reports of good conditions continue. Condition is below a year ago and unchanged from last week. Cooler temperatures and drier weather in northern areas are expected for the next week in the Midwest. Southern areas should stay hot and dry
