	Daily Commentary
	1/27/12 -  I have been out of the office for the last couple days and don't know what to think about these markets.  We have seen a nice move to the upside that started with the dry weather in South America and then excellent feed wheat demand for soft white wheat over the last couple of weeks.  Technically speaking the markets are nearing some resistance on the charts.  Weather forecasts show rain every 4-5 days in South America and seasonally wheat markets usually have some sort of top around the first week of February.  However, soft white wheat had another big export sales report this week and Portland market feels like it still needs to buy some wheat.

	The Weekly Top Five
	These are the 5 biggest issues that NWGG feel are affecting today markets and items to watch for as we progress through the year.      1.  SWW crop was very big in the Pacific Northwest this year.  USDA is estimating that U.S. sww carryover will be over 100 million bushels, over 33% of a normal crop.  SWW will need to find non-routine demand.  Where will demand come from outside of our routine Asian customers (see #3 below)?  SWW is attracting some export demand to be used as feed wheat in Asia.  2. The 2011 U.S. corn crop was a major disappointment.  Trendline yields were to much to ask for after late seeding and a dry summer.  Soft wheat is currently priced as feed, so any movement (higher/lower) in the corn market will help determine soft wheat values.  3.  Russia and the Ukraine have decided to lift their export ban on wheat and have been very aggressive sellers this fall.  When will they run out of wheat? 4.  South American weather has been dry so far.  With corn pollination starting after the first of the year, rain will be needed sooner than later.  World corn stocks are very tight and any reduction in yields should lead to higher feed prices.  However, this is a weather market and if it rains watch out below.  5.  Outside economic influences may have the last word.  The U.S. dollar, crude oil, gold, and the stock market all seem to play an important role in Ag. prices now more than ever.  Index and hedge funds have placed a lot of money in the Ag. futures as investors have looked for alternative places to put their money.  A better/worse economic outlook will determine whether more/less money is invested in the Ag. sector.
