looking for yield at 184.0 bushels per acre (bpa), 1.980 billion bushel (bb)
carryout and stocks at 12.962 bb. Ethanol margins should remain stable in the
short term with some blender gains as unleaded starts to trend higher. Basis

the 20-day moving average at $4.44, which we remain just above, with the Upper
Bollinger Band at $4.51 as resistance.

higher. On the report, trade is looking for yield at 52.7 bpa, 303 million

off the test of resistance Thursday as the dollar firms a bit. On the report,
trade is looking for all acres at 32.413 million, with carryout at 895 mb, and
stocks at 1.636 bb. Weather for the Plains looks generally warm into next week
before cooling with the eastern Plains having the best shot at moisture the
next few days. Matif wheat is weaker at midday. On the KC March chart, support
is the 20-day moving average at $5.21, with resistance the Upper Bollinger Band
at $5.37.
