[June 05, 2013]  SPRINGFIELD -- This is Tuesday'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 Tuesday afternoon, with corn slightly higher and soybeans slightly lower.

Corn futures were supported by the forecast for more rainfall for the cornbelt.

Soybean values moved lower as there was a lack of positive news and some weakness in the cash soybean basis.

In Northern and Western Illinois country grain dealers quoted shelled corn bids were 6 cents higher at 6.89-7.05.

Soybean bids were at 3 to 8 cents lower at 15.19-15.39.

In Central Illinois country grain dealers quoted shelled corn bids were 4 to 7 cents higher at 6.87-7.00.

Soybean bids were 3 cents lower at 15.42-15.63.

In the Southern part of the state, shelled corn bids were 4 to 5 cents higher at 6.86-7.09.

Soybean bids were 9 to 10 cents lower at 15.44-15.79.

Wheat bids were mixed at 6.87-7.13.
