Illinois country grain prices were mostly higher on Thursday afternoon.

Corn and soybean futures ended higher despite bearish reaction to the new Supply Demand report released by the USDA on Thursday.

In the cash markets, trading has been slow to moderate.

While cash basis for corn and soybeans has been very strong, there was weakness noted at both river terminals and processors.

In Northern and Western Illinois country grain dealers quoted shelled corn bids were 2 to 3 cents higher at 6.84-7.01.

Soybean bids were mixed at 15.70-15.84.

In Central Illinois country grain dealers quoted shelled corn bids were mostly 4 to 9 cents higher at 6.96-7.16.

Soybean bids were mixed at 15.83-16.13.

In the Southern part of the state, shelled corn bids were 7 to 9 cents higher at 6.79-7.06.
