Big grain reports on March 28

But you wouldn't know it from today's "VIX" for corn, soybeans and wheat (Chicago wheat).

I guess that USDA as the supporter of US agriculture export should make the number supportive for the commodities. The stocks are ridiculous low and weather 'd always be a huge challenge anyway.
 
ManinJapan,

This one from USDA NASS includes the reports that were released today.

http://www.nass.usda.gov/Publications/Reports_By_Date/2013/March_2013.asp

You need to watch these three depts within the USDA:

NASS - national agric statistics service
ERS - economic research service
FAS - foreign agric service

The USDA may have a master calendar, but I don't know where it is. I use the above departmental sites or a $20 'almanac' from the Hightower Report guys. The 2013 Hightower Commodity Trading Guide contains a lot of other data for all commodity markets; it's well worth $20.
 
Maybe USDA report has more to do with inflation metrics and food prices related to USDA food stamps program rather than grains itself. I see long shadow of Ben over this report.
