booked profits on Friday, eager to see whether additional soybean export sales

push up purchases for the 2025/2026 marketing year. Soybean, corn, and soft red
winter wheat basis were weaker on Friday, while hard red winter wheat and
spring wheat basis were steady. The USDA's Supply/Demand and WASDE Reports are
