Grain Markets
KJ,
Time will tell
about crops
Corn and soybean planting in
Ontario is complete as of mid-June.
However, there has been great
concern about the lack of heat so far
and the resulting delayed crop
progress. Remember, though, that
last year we saw fairly good growth
in May before the cold weather
arrived about June 20. Forecasts for
this area in the corning weeks call
for somewhat warmer temperatures
than last year. In travelling north of
London, I did notice that crop
emergence was further advanced
than in the southwest and in fact,
spring grain crops looked great.
CORN
Corn futures prices have fallen
over the past month to a low of
$2.11 on July futures basically due
to slow demand in the U.S.
However, an acreage report due out
on June 30 will tell the tate of 1993
production. Several analysts feel
corn acreage will be lower than
USDA originally predicted in the
early spring. Parts of Minnesota,
Iowa, Nebraska and Missouri still
have some corn to plant with a half
million acres in Iowa needing to be
replanted. These states have been
quite wet over the past month and
time is running out to get planting
completed. Even if the last four per
cent of the corn gets planted, yield
will suffer.
In Ontario, demand has not
changed and there is still plenty of
corn being offered. Presently, the
supply/demand for Ontario indicates
that there will be plenty of corn
