Nov 27 (Reuters) - Soybean spot basis bids fell sharply at
processors and river terminals around the U.S. Midwest early on
Wednesday as recent spikes in both basis and futures sparked a
round of sales from farmers and commercial elevators, dealers
said.
* Some growers continued to sell small portions of their soy
harvests for delivery during the next two months after cash
prices climbed above the psychological threshold of $13 per
bushel. Prices rose above $13.45 for January delivery, spurring
sales at that level, an Indiana soy buyer said.

pulled back bids in the wake of the sales pickup. Bids fell as
much as 21 cents at a river terminal in Savanna, Illinois.
* The seasonal closing of shipping on the northernmost
points on the Mississippi River also weighed on bids.
* Corn spot basis bids were steady to weak, easing at
processors and ethanol plants in Iowa and Indiana following a
modest increase in farmer sales.
* Still, the overall pace of sales of each crop remained
lighter than normal following the harvest, with depressed prices
chilling selling interest from farmers still flush with cash
following record commodities values last year.
* Many processors and elevators were closing early on
Wednesday and on Friday - and will be closed entirely on
Thursday in observance of the U.S. Thanksgiving Day holiday.
