11/23/22: Markets have been in holiday mode all week with thin volume in the futures pit.  Outside of some overnight pops in futures due to Russian shelling concerns, market has floated lower all week.  US remains high priced on global matrix for corn and wheat, limiting demand and keeping a solid lid on prices.  All signs point to the war in the Black Sea dragging on through winter, which will keep ag markets on edge and volatility will persist.  Domestic HRW conditions for next years crop are historically some of the lowest we have ever seen.  Plenty of time to catch up as we enter dormancy, but with relatively tight 2022 stocks already, conditions will be monitored closely over the next 6 months.  Corn stuck in a rut after dropping off the highs a couple weeks ago.  Hard to see it pushing back to those values until after the first of the year.  Will take some unexpected demand or war volatility to push it back.   

Tri cities Grain office will be closed November 24th and 25th for Thanksgiving 

Elevator will be closed November 24th and 25th for Thanksgiving.  Open again Saturday 7-7 for corn harvest.
