“[Thursday’s] spike in export basis gave the soy complex much of its support as it indicated a jump in demand.” Karl Setzer, partner with Consus Ag Consulting said, “Corn crop quality is also becoming more of an issue with fungus and rust cases rising. Soybean pod counts remain high but that does not mean the pods will be filled. Much of the Eastern Corn Belt is seeing drought build at a time when moisture demand increases.”
