GFO: Markets For Major Grains In ‘Bear’ Mode

Lots of talk about bear markets in this week’s Grain Farmers of Ontario weekly market commentary.

Analyst Marty Hibbs says the corn, soybean and wheat markets are all in bear mode.

He’s got soybean support around the 8.40 to 8.60 level on the September contract and is still calling any price rallies above 9 dollars selling opportunities.

Hibbs suggests all the indicators continue to point to a multi-year bear market for soybeans.

For corn, the GFO analyst puts solid support at the 3.20 level on the September contract, with all indicators still negative.

For wheat, there’s short-term overhead resistance at the 5 dollar area on the December contract.

He says all wheat market indicators are still negative.

Hibbs says there’s some concern about the quality of the U-S soft red winter wheat harvest.

He quotes the U-S Wheat Associates as advising buyers to ensure their purchases meet their expectations.

According to Hibbs, this year’s unusually wet weather is what’s causing those quality concerns.

Video: Spring weed control in winter wheat with Broadway® Star (pyroxsulam + florasulam)

#CortevaTalks brings you a short update with Cereal Herbicides Category Manager, Alister McRobbie, on how to get the most out of Broadway® Star.

Significant populations of grassweeds, including ryegrass and brome, can threaten winter wheat yields. Spring applications of a contact graminicide, such as Broadway Star from Corteva Agriscience, can clear problem weeds, allowing crops to grow away in the spring.

Broadway Star (pyroxsulam + florasulam) controls ryegrass, sterile brome, wild oats and a range of broad-leaved weeds such as cleavers. It can be applied to winter wheat up until GS32, but the earlier the application is made, the smaller the weed, and the greater the benefit to the crop. Weeds should be actively growing. A good rule of thumb is that if your grass needs cutting, conditions are right to apply Broadway Star.
