USDA will lead things off on Thursday with the weekly Export Sales report at 7:30 a.m. CST. At the same time, Statistics Canada will release their Principal Field Crop Area estimates ahead of the spring planting season.
Weather
A disturbance continues to produce areas of heavy rain in the Ohio Valley on Thursday, but flooding has also been a problem in this area this week. Reductions in drought are occurring, though. Another system in the West will move into the Plains later Thursday and produce areas of showers and thunderstorms. Some of the thunderstorms could be severe across the Central and Southern Plains with all hazards being possible.
