CHICAGO, March 11 (Reuters) - Spot basis bids for corn rose at processors and ethanol plants in the U.S. Midwest on Tuesday as crop buyers sought to entice farmers to make more sales, brokers said.

* Soybean basis bids were flat to higher.

* The U.S. Department of Agriculture kept its estimates unchanged for 2024-25 U.S. corn ending stocks in a monthly report amid uncertainty over the impact of U.S. tariff disputes with major buyers Mexico, Canada and China. Analysts had expected stocks to decline.

* USDA made no changes to its forecasts for how much U.S. corn will be exported or used to make ethanol, compared to February.

* Chicago Board of Trade May corn futures CK25 were up 1-1/2 cents at $4.73-1/2 per bushel by 12:30 p.m. CDT (1730 GMT) as the market recovered from losses last week. CBOT May soybeans SK25 were up 1 cent at $10.15 a bushel.
