Corn sales were a miserable 5.4 million bushels, with old-crop sales a net negative, due to cancellations of 7 mbu by “unknown,” and another 52,000 ton vessel by South Korea. Soybean sales were also low, 6.7 mbu net, with cancellations by “unknown” and Netherlands of 2.3 million bushels offsetting old-crop sales to Italy and Mexico. Wheat sales were the brightest spot, though only equal to the 4-week moving average. The biggest buyer was “unknown.”
