Tim Hannagan, PFGBest.com senior grain analyst, says Friday's crop report has put the world export market on high alert. "The report told importing countries you better hedge long term bean needs by buying now or expect to pay up later when stocks really get tight. China pushed their way to the front of the line, this morning, buying 120,000 mt to start. Expect much more by them in the days ahead," Hannagan says.
