Iowa Corn Prices Fall

Corn, Wheat and Soybean Futures Lower

By , Farms.com

The largest corn producing state in the U.S – Iowa experienced a price drop for corn, soybeans and wheat. The December futures for corn contract is trading at 1 ¾ lower with a showing of $8.06. Looking to November soybean contracts they are currently trading at $17.18.  While December wheat futures are trading 3 ¾ lower to $8.84.

"The overnight trade was higher on the weaker yield estimates and some ideas that the U.S. Stock market might move higher today. Not sure if the rains in the Midwest this weekend are helping all that much, but they could be hurting the beans price action either way," says Jack Scoville, President of PRICE Futures Group.

The PRICE Futures Group is a leader in providing advice to traders and investors – providing clients with market analysis and with decision making tools.

"The market is chopping around with no real direction. It's trying to grab here and maybe we start to work higher again," Scoville says.

Video: Did You Know Sheep Can Smile?!

Can sheep actually smile? You’ll have to see it to believe it! In today’s vlog at Ewetopia Farms, we captured one of our Suffolk rams flashing the biggest grin — and it’s not the only reason everyone is smiling. From harvesting our barley (and getting a surprisingly decent yield despite the drought) to seeing our alfalfa protected and thriving, it feels like everything lined up for once. Add in cooler weather, happy sheep, and even some silly ram courting rituals, and you’ve got a farm day full of joy, laughter, and a little bit of surprise. ??
