Since I am in Europe this week, I thought I would look into some European news sources. Rabobank is familiar to me as a sponsor of the Tour de France, but they produce monthly agricultural commodity reports with good summaries and comparisons of production, stock, and market levels of various agricultural commodities.
It reports basic market trends and predictions, but it also simply links market movements with related products, like ethanol for corn (below), and different grain usages like feed and residual production.
This report, combined with more recent information about contract prices, was useful in determining whether the recent fluctuations in the corn markets were an indication of upcoming volatility, or a fluke.

Did not realize you were in Europe last week! Rabobank is a fantastic name in the commodity markets and their research is quite excellent. I totally forgot about them until reading about them here on your blog!
Thanks for sharing a good source. I’ll look into it, too!
