VACLAVIK ... "The wheat market was sharply higher across the board here on Tuesday following a bullish crop progress report from the USDA on Monday afternoon. The USDA told us that the percentage of winter wheat rated good to excellent was the lowest since 2002 for this week and time and is really in bad shape as a result of an ongoing drought in the southern plains. Now, on the bearish side is exports. We are just having a very tough time competing on the export market. And, any time the wheat market rallies here in the U.S. it prices us out of the world market and really just eliminates demand. We’ll see what wins out here this week, but for the moment the market is strong here on Tuesday following that crop progress report from USDA."
