Afternoon Grain Comments 9-14-2026 – Corn traded pretty much like it did Friday. The USDA's 178.5 yield number shows the crop is getting smaller, but the actual crop checks so far haven't backed up the real scary numbers some private analysts were throwing around, so the big question now is whether that yield decline has run its course. History says when the number drops from August to September, it usually holds onto most of that drop, so most folks aren't expecting much of a bounce back in January. Farmers surveyed ahead of Monday's crop progress report expect the rating to slip another point to 55% good to excellent, and harvest is rolling now, with about 9% of the crop in the bin, up 4 points from last week. The StoneX Market Intelligence (MI) called it “the same soup of stories” as before, with the market now turning its attention from how big the crop is to how much demand there will be for it, with all eyes on the China meeting set for the 24th. Beans clawed back a little today after Friday's hard sell off, with traders shifting from worrying about the size of the crop to worrying about exports as that same China meeting on the 24th comes into focus. The real question is not whether China buys more beans, it is whether they follow through on what has already been talked about. Wheat had a wild ride today over what is going on between Russia and Ukraine. Trump made a comment asking both sides to quit hitting each other's energy targets, and that sent wheat tumbling hard before it clawed back most of that loss and still finished the day lower. Over the weekend Ukraine hit a Russian oil refinery, which helped push energy prices up, and there was also an attack on a Saudi pipeline along with Russia saying it hit a couple of threatening cargo ships. Ukraine's grain exports are running 32% behind for the month so far, and while their wheat and corn crop estimates actually got bumped up a bit, their overall grain export forecast got cut. At the close today, cash corn was up 3 cents, cash wheat was down 7 cents, and cash beans were up 7 cents Have a great rest of your evening.


Morning Grain Comments 9-14-2026 – The grains opened last evening steady to a little better with wheat the better but all of the grains had a two-sided session ending steady to a little better.  The StoneX Quick Editorial (QE) this morning stated, “the grains mostly chopped around level-par overnight but favored the high side overall with backing from $100+/bbl crude; it remains to be seen how much further funds can push near-record net corn/soy longs…”  In world grain trade news, Algeria has tendered for 1.8 million bushels of optional origin milling wheat but when they tender like this they usually purchase much more than that.  At the end of the night session at 7:45 this morning Kansas City December wheat was even with Friday’s close, Chicago December corn up 0.75 cent, and Chicago November soybeans were 2.25 cents higher.  Have a wonderful day.
