And the beat goes on – corn and beans closed little changed as the China trade situation drags on with rumors of a big deal, but confirmation still days/weeks away. Wheat rallied strongly on short-covering profit-taking even as the fundamentals remains negative. The March WASDE report will be released Friday.

Live Cattle closed mixed and Feeders were lower across the board. Nearby April LC was supported by firm boxed beef values and unfavorable feedlot conditions. Choice beef ended up .49 at 224.04 and Select gained .58 to 217.79. Feeder Cattle futures closed weak near the daily lows.

Lean Hog futures closed higher, posting the highest closes since February 15. Traders support LH on ideas hog numbers will ease and that China will need US pork. FOB Plant Pork dropped .34 to 62.59.
