Wheat futures are leading the CBOT higher as the southern Plains doesn’t look to receive “saving” rains anytime soon and the Ukraine situation is looking more tense which could interrupt exports/production from that region.  Corn continues its rally on weather forecasts less favorable for getting corn planted.

Cattle futures are mostly higher as yesterday’s boxed beef gains provide support.  Lean hogs are trading lower, correcting part of yesterday’s big gains as the pork cutout weakened later in the day.
