USDA Livestock, Poultry & Grain Market News
12/19/2015
to
Compared to the prior trading period, organic grains traded moderate on good demand. Organic feed grade corn traded steady with instances of
slightly higher on limited trades with some forward contract activity taking place for January, February and March 2016 delivery. Due to limited
trade activity on food grade organic soybeans, no trend is available, but lower undertones were noted. Feed grade organic soybeans traded steady
on limited trades with most prices negotiated delivered elevator. Trade activity is picking up on organic food grade wheat. Not enough trade
activity on feed grade organic wheat for a trend, but slightly higher undertones were noted. Limited trade activity on organic barley and oats.
Import activity steady due to a stronger U. S. Dollar.
Prices negotiated spot market, FOB the farm and reported with a weighted average. Prices quoted $/bushel, except soybean meal
($/ton and FOB the mill). Hay reported FOB the stack or barn unless otherwise noted. Soybean oil, sunflowers, spelt, cents/lb.
