US Cash Grains-Corn, soybean basis bids mostly flat to higher

CHICAGO, Nov 13 (Reuters) - Spot basis bids for corn and soybeans delivered to U.S. Midwest processing plants, river terminals and ethanol plants were mostly steady to up on Thursday, as futures climbed.

• The spot soybean basis bid rose by 5 cents a bushel at a processor in Lafayette, Indiana and by 3 cents at a river terminal in Davenport, Iowa.

• An ethanol plant in Annawan, Illinois, raised its spot corn basis bid by 5 cents a bushel, and a river terminal in Seneca, Illinois raised its basis by 6 cents.

• The U.S. government is reopening after a 43-day shutdown, and farmers and investors are awaiting the return of data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture that was suspended during that period.

• Farmer selling has been light this week and growers are awaiting a U.S. Department of Agriculture crop supply and demand report due on Friday. The USDA is expected to cut its U.S. corn and soybean production estimates in the report.
