US Cash Grains-Corn, soy bids mostly steady amid light selling

CHICAGO, Nov 3 (Reuters) - Corn and soy bids were mostly flat in the U.S. Midwest on Monday, with light selling by farmers, market sources said.

• Some farmers took advantage of a price bump to sell their crop.

• The U.S. harvest of soybeans and corn is winding down, a Reuters analyst poll showed on Monday, with mostly dry conditions over the weekend helping to speed progress in the Midwest crop belt.

• The U.S. soybean harvest was 91% complete as of Sunday and the corn harvest was 83% finished, according to a Reuters poll of nine analysts. Farmers are harvesting what has been projected as the biggest U.S. corn crop in history along with a bumper soybean crop.

• Most-active soybean futures Sv1 rose 19 cents to end at $11.34-1/4 per bushel.

• CBOT corn Cv1 rose 2-3/4 cents to end at $4.34-1/4 per bushel.
