The weather market balloon that has lifted grain futures prices the past several weeks continues to lose air. World Weather Inc. Wednesday said U.S. Midwest cooling is expected this weekend and it will continue milder than usual most of next week and into the following weekend. Crops will benefit from the milder conditions for a while and soil moisture will be conserved to help support crops later in June and early July. Drier and warmer weather will return in late June and continue into early July in the western Corn Belt. Grain traders will continue to monitor the latest updated weather forecasts, which in the summertime can change quickly. Don’t think the summertime weather market fireworks in the grains are over yet! It’s not even the Fourth of July holiday. Stay tuned! Jim
