CHICAGO, June 2 (Reuters) - Spot soybean and corn basis bids rose at some river terminals and interior grain facilities in the U.S. Midwest on Monday, spot checks showed.

• Farmers are finishing up plantings of both crops and been selling relatively minimal amounts as the growing season gets underway, grain dealers said.

• Widespread rain is expected to benefit dry areas of the Midwest this week, forecaster Commodity Weather Group said.

• The U.S. Department of Agriculture is slated to issue its first crop ratings of the year for soybeans and to update its ratings for the corn crop in a weekly report due at 3 p.m. CDT (2000 GMT).

• The U.S. soybean crush likely hit 6.055 million short tons in April, or 201.8 million bushels, analysts said ahead of a monthly USDA report at 2 p.m. CDT (1900 GMT). If realized, the crush would be down 2.3% from March, but up 13.7% from April 2024.

• Soybean futures Sv1 touched their lowest price since April 17 at the Chicago Board of Trade.
