Looks like there is nothing in the foreseeable future to prop up the relentless decline in grain prices.

Actually, new crop demand in July set an alltime record, mostly from China.

I am thinking their crop is going to be short this season and they are need to import massive amounts of c and s because of the shortfall.

Weak dollar is helping too.

Bearish weather at this stage in the growing season is hard to overcome though.
