Here in early October, a winter storm is developing in the northwestern U.S. Plains and will catch many row crops not ready. Any comments from U.S. or Chinese trade officials are also getting attention ahead of Thursday's new round of talks. At 9:30 a.m. CDT, the U.S. Energy Department releases its weekly energy inventories, including ethanol. Minutes from the latest Fed meeting will be posted at 1 p.m. CDT.

An intense winter storm system will bring snow, strong winds and season-ending cold to the Northern Plains Wednesday. Ahead of the storm, rain will develop in the Southern Plains. Temperatures in advance of the storm system will be mild. Winter storm and freeze bulletins cover most of the Plains through Thursday.
