9/30/25

Grain markets continuing yesterday’s slow grind flat to lower in the overnight trade while fresh news from the US Quarterly Grain Sept 1 Stocks & Small Grains report releases today at 11am. With government shutdown looming we could be driving in the dark for a while. If a deal isn’t reached by midnight, then we could start to miss weekly export inspections & if the shutdown persists the October 9th WASDE is also at risk. For reference, the longest and most recent gov’t shutdown was 35 days in 2018 which puts our next WASDE as the Nov 10th if the October 9th is missed. First-crop corn plantings in Brazil a little ahead showing 32% vs 30%. Estimates for planted acres is up 5% there at 22.6 million hectares. A warm/dry weather forecast seems likely for most of the US to speed up fall harvest & winter wheat plantings in short order.
