The USDA says export sales of several key commodities showed solid improvement during the week ending November 10th. Soybean export sales topped 3 million tons with more than half of that to China, while corn climbed back over a million, most of that purchased by Mexico. Pork and cotton export sales were also up on the week, while beef, wheat, rice, sorghum, and soybean products were down. Export sales are influenced by several factors including currency trade and seasonal demand.
