GRAIN NOTES
March 9, 2010 -  USDA will release the March Crop Report tomorrow morning at 7:30 with current market expectations being that USDA will decrease the 2009 corn production number by 70 million bushels. However, there continues to be talk for the market not to be surprised if USDA actually increases the production number as the corn being harvested now is yielding better than expected with overall grain quality being better than expected. Corn prices fell 6 cents in today's trade as the market awaits tomorrow mornings report. Bean prices were unchanged with some underlying support being given as the trade anticipates USDA to decrease the bean carry out to something less than 200 million bushels. The trade expects the 2009 bean crop to be about 10 million bushels less than the previous report along with anticipation crush usage and exports will be higher. Warmer/drier weather predicted for 2nd half of March.
