March corn is currently up by less than a penny.

March soybeans are down 8¾¢.

CBOT wheat is down 1½¢. KC wheat is down 2¾¢. Minneapolis wheat is up slightly.

“Soybeans are lower today because CONAB Brazil crop numbers are out, and the cuts are not as big as what the industry was hoping for,” says Naomi Blohm, senior market advisor for Total Farm Marketing. “Look for the USDA on Friday to follow in a similar fashion of small adjustments lower for Brazil. They will wait until February before doing a larger adjustment, if warranted.”

Blohm says CONAB, the Brazilian agriculture agency, is estimating the soybean crop at 155.27 million metric tons (mmt), down from 160.18 mmt last month. Corn is pegged at 117.6 mmt, down from 118.5 mmt.

Live cattle are down 10¢. Feeder cattle are up 80¢. Lean hogs are down 73¢.
