Calls:
Soybeans up 1-3, corn up 1-2 and wheat steady.
US
crop conditions fell 2 points for soybeans and one point for corn. Trade was looking for unchanged for both. USDA reported additional corn and soybean sales this morning. Fundamental news was light.
Palm
oil was very strong on Monday, up 3 percent, on renewed fund buying. Saudi Arabia bought wheat, Jordan seeks wheat and Taiwan is in for corn. US temperatures will be drier and warmer this week, facilitating harvesting progress.

South Wales locations - Rainfall
of 0.20 to 0.60 inch will occur in Victoria and southern New south Wales - The
precipitation will be extremely helpful in raising soil moisture for winter and spring crops, although wheat and barley in Queensland may be a little too far advanced to full benefit - Western
Australia gets very little rain outside of coastal areas for the next ten days - Some
rain is advertised for Sep. 24-25, although confidence in its significance is low - Argentina
rainfall will continue minimal outside of the far northeast fort the next eight days - Crop
moisture stress will continue in western parts of the nation while soil moisture in the east will be favorable - “some”
showers occur in the drier areas of the nation during mid-week next week, but confidence is low on the significance of that precipitation - Dry
weather will resume thereafter leaving a strong need for more rain - Center
West and southern parts of center south Brazil are advertised to receive scattered showers and thunderstorms Sep. 20-23 with drier weather resuming after that period - The
precipitation might eventually help lift topsoil moisture for some early season soybean planting, but much more rain will be needed - Coffee
and citrus flowering “may” occur in a few areas from Sao Paulo into southern Minas Gerais and Rio de Janeiro while sugarcane and early corn experience a moisture boost to improve crop development; however, most of the region will fail to get quite enough moisture
to make big changes in crop or soil conditions without follow up moisture - Southern
Brazil rice, corn and wheat areas will get periodic rainfall through the next two weeks - Crop
and field conditions will either improve or continue good through the end of this month - China
weather during the weekend included welcome drying in Heilongjiang, Jilin and in the heart of east-central China - The
drier bias was needed in many areas - Rain
fell abundantly from southern Sichuan through Guizhou, eastern Yunnan through Guangxi to Guangdong to Fujian where local flooding resulted - More

much rain may fall in some of southern China over the next two weeks - Local
flooding is possible - Heilongjiang,
Jilin and Liaoning will need drier biased weather soon to support summer crop maturation and harvest progress - The
mix of weather elsewhere will be good for ongoing summer crop development and helpful in ensuring good soil moisture for rapeseed and wheat planting later this autumn - India
rain during the weekend was concentrated on western, interior southern and far eastern parts of the nation - Net
drying occurred from the central through northern production areas - India
weather over the next two weeks will continue wettest in central, southern and far eastern parts of the nation while net drying occurs in the north - The

- The
moisture will be welcome to future winter crop planting, but will slow summer crop maturation and early season harvest progress
- Eastern
Europe and the western CIS precipitation is expected to be minimal for at least the next ten days - This
will lead to good summer crop harvest progress and some autumn planting of winter grains from Ukraine and the Balkan Countries to Poland and the Baltic States - Totally
dry weather is not expected, but very little disruption to fieldwork will occur
- Winter
crop areas in central and eastern Ukraine, Russia’s Southern Region, western Kazakhstan and portions of the Balkan Countries will continue too dry delaying planting, emergence and establishment in many of the driest areas
