Wheat down 1-2 cents, corn up 1-down 1, soy down 4-6
CHICAGO: The following are U.S. expectations for the resumption of grain and soy complex trading at the Chicago Board of Trade at 8:30 a.m. CDT (1330 GMT) on Friday. Wheat - Down 1 to 2 cents per bushel CBOT wheat futures fell on expectations of a large global wheat crop. Agricultural consultancy Sovecon on Thursday raised its forecast for Russia's wheat exports for the 2025-2026 season by 1.1 million metric tons to 40.8 million tons, citing improved weather conditions for the harvest. Russia plans to export 53.0 million metric tones of grain, including 44.5 million tonnes of wheat, in the 2024-2025 season, Russian deputy prime minister Dmitry Patrushev said on Friday. The U.S. Department of Agriculture reported U.S. wheat export sales losses of 128,800 metric tons, in line with analyst expectations. CBOT July soft red winter wheat was last down ½ cent at $5.33-1/2 per bushel. K.C. July hard red winter wheat was last up 1/4 cent at $5.32 per bushel. Minneapolis July spring wheat was last up 3-1/2 cents at $6.19 a bushel. Wheat down 8-9 cents, corn down 1-2, soy up 5-6 Corn - Down 1 cent to up 1 cent per bushel Corn futures were mixed as traders weighed Brazil's large upcoming corn crop with large export sales reported on Thursday by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The USDA reported export sales of corn for the current marketing year at 916,700 tons, in line with expectations. U.S. exporters sold 210,560 metric tons of corn to unknown destinations. CBOT July corn was last up 3/4 cent at $4.47-3/4 per bushel. Soybeans - Down 4 to 6 cents per bushel Soybean futures ticked lower to hold near Thursday's three-week low, curbed by expectations of ample supplies along with uncertainty over biofuel demand as the U.S. government considers waivers for oil refiners. Traders are assessing a Reuters report that the White House is considering a plan to clear a record backlog of requests from small refineries for exemptions from U.S. biofuel laws. The USDA reported export sales of soybeans clocked in at 146,000 tons, below a range of analyst expectations. CBOT July soybeans were down 4-3/4 cents at $10.47 per bushel.

Wheat down 8-9 cents, corn down 1-2, soy up 5-6
CHICAGO: The following are U.S. expectations for the resumption of grain and soy complex trading at the Chicago Board of Trade at 8:30 a.m. CDT (1330 GMT) on Tuesday. Wheat - Down 8 to 9 cents per bushel CBOT wheat futures fell for a third straight session on Tuesday, as the risk of crop-damaging weather ahead of the northern hemisphere harvest receded, reinforcing expectations of a well-supplied market. Recent days have seen rain in dry parts of northern Europe, rainfall forecasts in drought-hit cropping regions in China, an upward revision to a wheat yield forecast in the European Union and an upgraded production estimate for Russia. Traders were awaiting the U.S. Department of Agriculture's weekly crop report later on Tuesday to see if U.S. winter wheat conditions continued to improve last week. Export demand for wheat remains tepid and export prices in top shipper Russia dipped last week. CBOT July soft red winter wheat was last down 9-1/2 cents to $5.33 per bushel. K.C. July hard red winter wheat was last down 11-1/4 cents to $5.27-1/2 a bushel. Minneapolis July spring wheat was last down 6 cents to $6.00-1/2 a bushel. Paris wheat pushed down by export-punishing euro strength Corn - Down 1 to 2 cents per bushel Corn futures lowered, curbed by a bounce in the dollar. The U.S. Department of Agriculture in its weekly crop report Tuesday afternoon will release corn condition ratings and planting progress. A lack of weather risks to the U.S. corn crop have weighed on prices. CBOT July corn was last down 3/4 cent to $4.58-3/4 per bushel. Soybeans - Up 5 to 6 cents per bushel Soybeans rose under support from soyoil futures, which have rallied on hopes that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency will release new biofuel blending mandates. CBOT July soybeans were last up 6-1/4 cents to $10.66-1/2 per bushel.

Ex-police chief convicted of murder, rape escapes from Arkansas prison
May 26 (UPI) -- Authorites in northwest Arkansas are searching for a former police chief serving time for murder and rape who escaped from prison wearing a makeshift police uniform. The Arkansas Department of Corrections said Grant Hardin, 56, escaped from the North Central Unit in Calico Rock in Izard County at approximately 3:40 p.m. CDT Sunday. Calico Rock is 126 miles north of Litle Rock. The search, which was continuing Monday, is a joint effort of the Department of Corrections, Arkansas State Police, and local and state law enforcement. The prison agency said he "was wearing a makeshift outfit designed to mimic law enforcement" when he escaped. He was not wearing a prison guard uniform and all DOC-issued equipment has been accounted for. Hardin was the former chief of police for the city of Gateway in Benton County, which had a population of 444 people in 2023. He also was a police officer, county constable and corrections officer. Gateway, which is near the Missouri border, is 129 miles west of Calico Rock. Hardin is described as 6 feet, weighing approximately 259 pounds. "Anytime there's an escape, we consider that a threat to the public," Rand Champion with the Arkansas Department of Corrections told KHBS-TV. "He does have a law enforcement background. Anytime something like this exists, we consider it a threat to the community." Since 2017, Hardin has been at the North Central Unit serving a 30-year sentence for first-degree murder, as well as 25 years for each rape count. He pleaded guilty to the murder of James Appleton, 59, a city water employee found shot in the face inside his work truck in October 2017, KNWA reported. A witness told police that Appleton's truck and a white sedan was seen on the side of the road. He said heard a loud boom and saw the sedan drive away. The witness found Appleton slumped over in the seat, with a gunshot wound to the head. His DNA linked him to the rape cold case of a teacher in 1997, the TV station reported. Amy Harrison, a teacher at Frank Tillery Elementary in Rogers, was raped by a man with a gun at the school. While preparing a lesson plan for the week, the teacher was ambushed. "Grant Hardin, in my view and in my personal experience, is one of the most dangerous people that I ever seen for the reason that he does not at first appear that way," Nathan Smith, the prosecuting attorney for Benton County at the time, said. "He is a man capable of a seemingly random, horrific murder as well as a random horrific rape." The sexual assault was profiled on the TNT series Cold Justice: Sex Crimes in 2015.
