Morning Grain Comments 8-17-2026 – The grains opened steady to slightly lower last evening but rallied fairly quickly into positive territory but that didn’t hold with wheat under pressure with selling in the last half of the session. The StoneX Quick Editorial (QE) this morning stated, “the most-traded December corn contract is looking to challenge three-month highs from late July; a beneficial weather stretch continues this week as traders start to look for anecdotal yield reports from the fields…” The Pro Farmer crop tour starts today for 4 days hitting seven states including Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Nebraska, South Dakota, Iowa with the two groups meeting in Minnesota on Thursday. At the end of the night session at 7:45 this morning Kansas City September wheat was 5.75 cents lower, Chicago September corn was up 1.75 cents, and Chicago November soybeans were 5.25 cents higher. Have a wonderful day.
