Today was a huge report day.  Look below for a summary of the USDA's huge data dump.  We did have two 8am sale announcements this morning that included 132,000 tonnes of soybeans to China for 2022/23 and 100,00 tonnes of corn to unknown for 2021/22.

Nothing changed domestically to light a fire under the market either direction.  USDA found a few more corn acres.  Added ethanol use was washed out by trimming exports.  Ending stocks grew.

Soybean acres trimmed minimally, 51.4 average yield is second largest all-time.  Domestic soy supply continues to grow.   Really feels like trade is all on one side of the fence and just want to ignore anything negative.
