What DTN Is Watching
Markets
USDA's weekly report of export sales will be released at 7:30 a.m. CST Friday and soybean sales will likely be low again, but there's always a chance that wheat sales could pick up one of these days. An update on U.S. industrial production will come out at 8:15 a.m. and everyone is watching for any news of trade talks with China.
WeatherModerate to heavy snow is in store for portions of the Northern Plains, Great Lakes and the northeastern U.S. Friday. Dry conditions will be in place elsewhere. Harvest conditions will still be difficult in the Great Lakes due to snow, with more favorable conditions elsewhere. Temperatures will have a sharp contrast between cool to cold in the Northern Plains and Midwest, and much milder in the remainder of the Plains through the Delta-Deep South.
