Grain export inspections reported by the Agriculture Department this week declined from the previous week, although remain mostly higher from the same time last year.

In its report on Monday, the USDA says that for the week ended Sept. 5 corn export inspections totaled 836,413 metric tons, soybean inspections 354,166 tons, and wheat inspections 586,687 tons. All three are down from the previous week, but in the cases of corn and wheat, higher than this time last year.

Mexico was the leading destination for U.S. wheat and corn, while Indonesia was the leading destination for soybeans.

Grain futures on the Chicago Board of Trade are mixed in early trading, with most-active corn up 0.1%, soybeans up 1.4%, and wheat down 0.3%.
