Market Comments

Old crop sunflowers were up 25-30 cents this week at the crushing plants depending on location. New crop sunflower prices continue to be competitive with other new crop prices and were up 10-20 cents this week. High Oleic sunflower contracts are available in the range of $26.00 cwt. at crush plants. There is still time to take advantage of the market opportunities that sunflowers can offer. Processors are still offering Act of God contracts and an opportunity to diversify your crop risk this year. The planting window is closed on most crops but the good news is that late season planted crops like sunflower can perform well and markets will reward that production. This week USDA released its latest U.S. supply-and-demand outlook. In the report USDA tightened the U.S. supply & demand outlook for both old and new crop corn but left the soybean numbers pretty much unchanged. Most traders viewed the numbers as neutral, maybe a little negative. The next USDA report of major significance will be released on June 28. Given the difficulties many producers faced this spring getting their crops planted and those still trying to plant; the market will be very eager to see where USDA pegs planted acres for each crop.
