[June 15, 2012]  SPRINGFIELD -- This is Thursday's report of the grain prices and trends, prepared by the USDA and the Illinois Department of Agriculture.

Illinois country grain prices were mixed on Thursday afternoon, with corn and wheat higher and soybeans lower.

Wheat futures were supported by the sale of
110,000 tonnes of US wheat to China.

Even though weekly export sales figures and
the National Oilseed Processors Association's May crush figures were above trade
expectations, fund selling pushed soybean futures lower.

In Northern and Western Illinois country grain dealers quoted shelled corn bids 14 to 15 cents higher at 6.29-6.42.

Soybean bids traded 18 to 23 cents lower at
13.70-13.79.
 
In Central Illinois country grain dealers quoted shelled corn bids were 9 to 17
cents higher at 6.32-6.49.

Soybean bids were 18 to 22 cents lower at 13.70-13.89.

Wheat bids were 4 to 8 cents higher at 5.98-6.16.

In the Southern part of the state, shelled corn bids were 10 to 15 cents higher
at 6.35-6.56.

Soybean bids were 20 to 22 cents lower at 13.77-13.98.

Wheat bids were 7 cents higher at 6.10-6.33.
