Grains In the Green. Wednesday, July 2, 2025

Ahead of 9 a.m. CT, December corn was up 1¾¢ at $4.23¾ per bushel.

November soybeans were up 5¢ at $10.32¼ per bushel.

September wheat contracts were also higher. CBOT wheat was up 4½¢ at $5.53½ per bushel. KC wheat was up 6¢ at $5.37¼. CBOT spring wheat was up 2¢ at $6.24¾. Minneapolis wheat was up 6¢ at $6.34½.

“We’re seeing some quality issues due to excessive rain in the winter wheat crop, but the yields are high, and there is enough good wheat to offset the bad,” said Arlan Suderman, chief commodities economist at StoneX. “Corn acres are high, and crop conditions still argue for above-trend yields, suggesting rising stocks. Soybean conditions are good as well, but acres are quite low, leaving us vulnerable if a weather problem develops by August. Exports are questionable, but biofuel demand appears good.”

August livestock were mixed ahead of 9 a.m. CT. Live cattle were down $1.10 at $209.65 per hundredweight (cwt). Feeder cattle were down $1.48 at $304.55 per cwt. Lean hogs were up 5¢ at $107 per cwt.
