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

A lower average projected US soybean yield and tighter new crop soybean stocks in today's USDA crop report lifted soybean values.

Also in today's USDA report for Illinois producers, the average yield for corn was estimated at 165 bushels per acre, with soybean yields expected to be 46 bushels per acre.

In Northern and Western Illinois country grain dealers quoted shelled corn bids were mixed at 4.66-4.92.

Soybean bids were 15 to 25 cents higher at 13.82-14.54.

In Central Illinois country grain dealers quoted shelled corn bids were 5 to 15 cents lower at 4.84-5.05.

Soybean bids were 30 to 40 cents higher
at 14.70-14.96.

In the Southern part of the state, shelled corn bids were 10 to 20 cents lower at 4.65-4.82.

Soybean bids were up 15 to 33 cents at 14.18-14.61.
