Polar Plunge draws large crowd to Cascade Park

Dozens started their year with a plunge into frigid Moses Lake Polar Plunge

MOSES LAKE — It was 19 degrees at Cascade Park on Friday; perfect weather to ring in the new year with a polar plunge into Moses Lake. The plunge, hosted by Grant County Animal Outreach, was made possible with the help of the Moses Lake Fire Department, who was on scene, hours prior to the plunge, with chainsaws, cutting through the ice to clear an area into which people could plunge. Moses Lake firefighter/paramedic Paul Guerin was in his red cold water survival suit, removing potentially dangerous chunks of ice from the swimming area. Guerin has taken the plunge himself five times, over the years, and was happy to be staying dry in the survival suit. "No. I don't miss it," he said.

Ag markets diverged significantly Tuesday

Corn futures reacted well to the Export Inspections data. Talk of harvest delays and production losses appeared to boost the corn market again Tuesday. Prices got added support from the USDA Export Inspections report, since the corn total topped increased forecasts. Bulls pushed December prices over their 40-day moving average, which triggered technical buying. December corn futures surged 11.0 cents to $3.57/bushel in late Tuesday trading, while May ran up 11.5 cents to $3.79.

Soy, wheat markets surged Tuesday

Spillover strength supported corn futures Tuesday. The latest forecasts point to cool mid-April temperatures, but they also imply a stretch of dryness. That may allow farmers to take advantage of the dry spell and get lots of corn planted, which weighed upon prices late this morning. However, strength spilling over from the wheat and soy markets apparently pulled prices upward. May corn settled up 0.75 cent to $5.0375/bushel Tuesday afternoon, while December skidded 0.25 to $5.0325.

Ag markets posted mixed closes ahead of Thursday's USDA reports

Traders were looking forward to Thursday’s USDA reports Wednesday. Expectations for a massive corn harvest have weighed heavily upon the market this summer. However, the possibility that tomorrow’s USDA Crop Production and WASDE reports will hold surprises apparently spurred short-covering ahead of their release. Thus, corn futures traded slightly higher. December corn futures closed up 1.5 cents to $3.4575/bushel Wednesday, while May rose 1.25 to $3.6675.

Ag markets moved mostly lower again Wednesday morning

Corn futures resumed their post-report decline Wednesday morning. Tuesday’s USDA reports implied record U.S. corn yield and harvest totals this fall. Futures reacted poorly to the news and couldn’t sustain overnight efforts to stabilize. Indeed, early morning announcements of fresh export sales also failed to push prices higher. Traders think the USDA forecasts are too low. September corn dipped 1.75 cents to $3.5675/bushel late Wednesday morning, while December lost 1.25 to $3.6775.
