Illinois country grain prices were higher on Monday afternoon.

A warm and dry extended weather forecast for the eastern cornbelt helped to push corn and soybean futures higher.

Weekly export sales figures for corn were above trade expectations, helping to lift corn values.

In the USDA's Weekly Crop Progress report, the condition of the US corn crop dropped to 63% in the good to excellent range, down 3% from last week.

In Northern and Western Illinois country grain dealers quoted shelled corn bids up 18 to 23 cents at 6.25-6.43.

Soybean bids traded 8 to 10 cents higher
at 13.69-13.80.

In Central Illinois country grain dealers quoted shelled corn bids were 20 to 25 cents higher at 6.30-6.48.

Soybean bids were 8 to 10 cents higher at
13.72-13.92.

Wheat bids were 20 to 25 cents higher at 6.05-6.28.

In the Southern part of the state, shelled corn bids were 16 to 22 cents higher at 6.24-6.51.
