Delaware’s agricultural community is celebrating a Supreme Court decision that restricts presidential authority to impose trade tariffs. Scott Metzger, who leads the American Soybean Association, says the ruling limits how presidents can utilize the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.

Markets

Corn futures showed mixed activity while soybeans faced downward pressure from profit-taking. Wheat climbed higher on dry weather concerns and short covering. At Dover, grain elevators are reporting corn at $6.20 per bushel, soybeans at $11.40 per bushel.

Forecast

Areas of fog are clearing this evening with temperatures near 52 degrees. Tonight drops to 34 with mostly cloudy skies. Saturday brings partly sunny conditions with highs near 48. Sunday brings rain transitioning to rain and snow by evening. A Winter Storm Watch remains in effect through Sunday night with heavy snow possible Monday.
