All-wheat export sales were very good at 650,600 tons, a marketing year high, and well above 240,000 tons previous week.  Mexico, SK, Japan, and the Philippines were major buyers. Corn export sales were also a marketing year high at 1.949 million tons for 2021-22 and were at the high end of expectations. Mexico and Canada were the top buyers. New-crop corn sales of 754,400 tons reflected part of that large sale to Mexico last week.  Sorghum export sales were good at 332,000 tons with China claiming the bulk. Pork sales were 31,100 tons (Mexico and Canada top buyers). Soybean export sales of 1.309 million tons were good (140,000 tons were posted to new-crop) but down from 1.638 million tons from the previous week.  China was the top buyer for the soybeans at 985,800 tons but it included 402,000 tons switched from unknown. Soybean meal sales of 95,600 tons were down from 202,500 tons from previous week and shipments slipped to 189,300 tons.  Soybean oil sales were 10,600 tons, double from the previous week and shipments were also 10,600 tons, down from 31,800 tons week earlier.
