trade in US agriculture markets with wheat leading corn and soybeans lower. USDA reported additional 24-hour sales this morning.
USDA
export sales were good for corn and soybeans. Conab surprised the trade by reporting a large soybean production and much smaller than expected corn output.
US
CPC: La Nina weather may intensify OND to a moderate or strong event, and peak between November and January, then weaken after April. South America weather during La Nina events includes less than usual rainfall in eastern Argentina, Uruguay, southern Paraguay
and Rio Grande do Sul during the late spring and summer months. US Great Plains tends to see drier than normal conditions.
FEW
CHANGES OF SIGNIFICANCE OVERNIGHT
- Hurricane
Delta will have a big impact on the lower U.S. Mississippi River Basin Friday and Saturday - Torrential
rainfall is expected from Louisiana through western Tennessee and eastern Arkansas to areas south of the Ohio River from late tonight into Monday resulting in some flooding and crop damage - Sugarcane
in Louisiana will be damaged by high wind speeds with the western crop most seriously impacted - Cotton
damage is also possible with heavy rain occurring from Louisiana to western Tennessee that might string out some cotton - Losses
will be greatest where boll rot has evolved - Cotton
quality declines are expected - Quite
a bit of harvesting has occurred recently which should reduce losses - Hurricane
Delta will also be faster in diminishing which may help to reduce the threat of serious wind damage, but heavy rain is still expected - Unharvested
rice, sorghum and soybeans will also be negatively impacted, but not as severely as that of cotton or sugarcane - Harvest
delays for all crops in the Delta are expected, but drier weather will be back next week
- Center
west and center south Brazil will experience some periodic showers and thunderstorms during the next couple of weeks with the precipitation being a little sporadic and light through the weekend and again October 19-23 - Resulting
rainfall will vary greatly from one location to another and from one day to the next with mid-week next week wettest - Minas
Gerais will be wettest along with neighboring areas of Espirito Santo and Rio de Janeiro - Portions
of Mato Grosso do Sul, western Sao Paulo and northwestern Parana will be driest
- Moisture
totals may not be enough to counter evaporation raising some concern for crop in that area - Some
soybean planting is expected to occur - Coffee
in Minas Gerais, Espirito Santo and Rio de Janeiro will benefit greatly from next week’s rainfall - Excessive
heat in center west, and center south Brazil will be eased as rainfall increases - Tropical
Storm Chan-Hom will threaten Japan Friday into the weekend with some heavy rain and potential flooding; the storm will become a weak typhoon today and will weaken to a tropical storm after impacting parts of Kyushu and Shikoku Friday and Saturday - Landfall
is not expected, but the storm will be close enough to the main islands to induce some heavy rain and windy conditions - Minor
damage is expected to structures, but most crops are not likely to be seriously impacted - Tropical
disturbance moving through mainland areas of Southeast Asia today will generate additional rain today
- This
disturbance may reach the Bay of Bengal Friday into weekend and will contribute to greater rain in India Sunday through Friday of next week - Disturbed
tropical weather in the Philippines will generate greater rainfall today and Friday with two tropical cyclones coming from the disturbance - First
tropical cyclone will evolve west of the Philippines tonight and Friday and it will move to central and southern Vietnam next week possibly bringing heavy rain and windy conditions to some coffee production areas - A
second tropical cyclone of weaker intensity will move to Guangdong, China after evolving northeast of Luzon Island; landfall may occur in China early to mid-week next week - Northeastern
China will experience drier weather over the next couple of weeks and colder temperatures

- Kazakhstan
remains too dry and no relief is expected for two weeks - U.S.
west-central and southwestern hard red winter wheat areas in the Plains will be hot and dry this week and may cool down briefly this weekend only to heat back up again next week - Rainfall
continues minimal for the region through at least October 20 - Northwestern
U.S. Plains remain quite dry and winter crops are not establishing well; there is a chance for “some” showers briefly this weekend, but they will be light - No
change in Argentina dryness is expected for the next eight or nine days from central and northern Cordoba and parts of central Santa Fe to northwestern parts of the nation maintaining worry over winter and spring crops - Some
rain may evolve in parts of the dry region after October 17 - Rain

- No
significant relief to dryness will occur through October 17 - Showers
may return to a few southern areas Oct. 18-22, but confidence is low - Queensland,
Australia still needs significant rain for summer crop planting; “some” rain is possible October 18-21, but mostly in the southeast where some cotton, sorghum and sugarcane areas might benefit - Central
India will trend wetter again next week after this week’s rain is greatest in the south and far eastern states - Too
much rain is expected in central India as a tropical cyclone moves into the region and has trouble ending rainfall
- Local
flooding and delays to harvesting will result - Worry
over summer crop quality will be rising - South
Africa weather is slowly improving with rain in the south and east with periods of rain continuing over the next couple of weeks - Southeastern
Canada and the U.S. Great Lakes region will experience a better mix of weather over the next week to ten days after frequent precipitation - U.S.
harvest weather in the Midwest and Great Plains will be good through Saturday - Rain
is expected in the northern Plains and upper Midwest late this weekend into early next week - Some
rain from Hurricane Delta may reach into the lower eastern Midwest this weekend causing delays to fieldwork briefly Sunday and Monday, but drying will evolve shortly thereafter - U.S
Midwest and Great Plains weather next week will be mostly good with only a brief period in which rain is expected to occur in association with frontal systems - U.S.
southeastern states harvest will advance well for a few more days, but some rain is expected this weekend into early next week that may slow fieldwork for a little while - U.S.
temperatures will trend warmer this week until the late weekend and early week frontal system arrives in the Plains and eventually moves through the Midwest during mid-week next week - Highs
in the Midwest will rise to the 70s and lower 80s through the weekend with gradual cooling expected next week and into the following weekend as a series of cool fronts move through the region - High
temperatures in the Plains will be in the upper 70s and 80s during much of this week with 90s in some southern locations - Cooling

threatening cold nighttime temperatures are expected in any part of the U.S. through the next ten days - Central
and western Ukraine and portions of southeastern Europe will receive waves of rain through most of next week - Sufficient
rain will fall to relieve some of the driest areas from dryness - Rainfall
of 0.50 to 2.50 inches and locally more by the end of next week - Temperatures
will be warmer than usual in much of the forecast period - Eastern
Ukraine, like Russia’s Southern Region and Kazakhstan, will get little to no rain for the next ten days - Europe

precipitation will be most significant in the far south of the nation over the coming week to ten days - Central
America will be wetter biased over the next ten days to two weeks further easing long term dryness and possibly delaying early season crop maturation.

Corn
started the day higher on expectations for China to eventually shift US buying focus from soybeans over to corn, but a dive in wheat prices erased gains. December corn fell 1.75 cents and March was off 2.50.
-
Conab
reported a much less than expected initial Brazil corn production of 105.2 million tons, 6.5 million below a Bloomberg trade average and 2.7 million tons above 2019-20. This is seen slightly supportive for CBOT corn.
