US Cash Grains-Soybean, corn basis bids weaken at some river terminals

ReutersNov 7, 2025 3:54 PM

- Spot basis bids for U.S. soybeans and corn slipped at some Midwestern river terminals on Friday after farmer sales accelerated this week, brokers said.

  • Farmer selling has increased supplies available to grain handlers.

  • Basis bids for soy and corn fell at a river terminal near Davenport, Iowa. Basis bids also declined for soy at a river terminal in Seneca, Illinois, and for corn at a terminal in Savanna, Illinois.

  • Some ethanol plants raised their corn basis bids.

  • Weekly U.S. ethanol output rose by 32,000 barrels per day to 1.12 million barrels per day, according to U.S. data issued on Wednesday.
