The market held up rather well given that last week was one of the fastest planting weeks for corn in history. DNS planting in North Dakota is still a little behind. Exporters continue to be short as evidenced by the basis numbers. Basis should be relatively strong until the first soft white rolls off the combine in late June or early July. If you missed the Goldendale marketing meeting today, you missed a lively discussion about all of the market factors. Verna even presented her crystal ball forecast and the local banker discussed the interest rate environment. Join us at Ione, Prineville, Madras or Moro this week to see Verna, Greg, Jeff or Brad's fortune telling talents.
