Mixed Trade in Grains. Friday, Sept. 19, 2025
Just before 9:30 a.m. CT, December corn was up 3¢ at $4.26¾ per bushel.
November soybeans were up 1½¢ at $10.39 per bushel.
“Corn and soybeans are firming into the weekend while wheat is narrowly mixed.” said Karl Setzer, a partner with Consus Ag Consulting. “Collective trade is the driver [Friday] morning following a week of choppy trade. More crop data is coming in, and suddenly, fund traders are not comfortable holding short positions, especially in corn. There are now thoughts that the U.S. corn crop may be no larger than last year, which is problematic given the current demand base we have on corn.”
December CBOT wheat was down 2¼¢ at $5.22 per bushel. December KC wheat decreased 2¼¢ at $5.07¾ per bushel. December Minneapolis wheat was ¾¢ weaker at $5.37¼ per bushel.

October crude oil was down 56¢ at $62.70 per barrel.
