[April 02, 2013]  SPRINGFIELD -- This is Monday's report of the grain prices and trends, prepared by the USDA and the Illinois Department of Agriculture.

Illinois country grain prices were sharply lower on Monday afternoon. 

Carryover speculation and fund selling at the Board of Trade pushed corn futures lower.

Thoughts of a large corn crop for 2013 and a higher than expected corn stocks figure weakened corn values.

In Northern and Western Illinois country grain dealers quoted shelled corn bids were 48 to 53 cents lower at 6.40-6.62.

Soybean bids were 6 to 14 cents lower at 13.78-14.13.

In Central Illinois country grain dealers quoted shelled corn bids were 51 to 53 cents lower at 6.52-6.62.

Soybean bids were 14 cents lower at
13.98-14.14.

In the Southern part of the state, shelled corn bids were 51 to 53 cents lower at 6.09-6.75.

Soybean bids were 12 to 19 cents lower at 14.06-14.28.

Wheat bids were mostly 25 cents lower at 6.50-6.79.
