[April 04, 2013]  SPRINGFIELD -- This is Wednesday'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 Wednesday afternoon.

Concerns with crop conditions for the growing wheat crop supported the stronger wheat values. 

Corn prices were supported by evening positions after the sharp sell offs. 

Selling pressure and new crop harvest in Brazil pushed soybeans lower.

In Northern and Western Illinois country grain dealers quoted shelled corn bids were mostly 1 to 2 cents higher at 6.39-6.58.

Soybean bids were mostly 8 to 12 cents lower at 13.80-13.95.

In Central Illinois country grain dealers quoted shelled corn bids were mostly 1 to 2 cents higher at 6.51-6.62.

Soybean bids were 8 to 14 cents lower at 13.90-14.10.

In the Southern part of the state, shelled corn bids were mixed at 6.28-6.72. 

Soybean bids were 12 to 16 cents lower at 13.94-14.10.

Wheat bids were 20 to  26 cents higher at 6.85-7.05.
