Wheat export inspections improved last week, while corn and soybean assessments moved lower, according to the latest report from the USDA. USDA said 393,150 metric tons of wheat were inspected for overseas delivery, up from 358,098 tons the previous week and ahead of the same week a year ago. Corn inspections totaled 1.45 million metric tons, down from 1.65 million a week earlier and slightly below year-ago levels. Soybean inspections fell sharply to 241,045 metric tons from more than 533,000 tons the week before, though they remained above last year's pace. Despite the weekly decline, corn exports continue to run well ahead of last year. Since the marketing year began Sept. 1, USDA has inspected 67.1 million metric tons of corn for export, up from 53.6 million tons a year ago. Soybean inspections for the marketing year remain behind last year's pace at 36.8 million metric tons.
