Corn and wheat futures are lower and at/near the day’s lows. Soybean futures are up slightly and trading in the middle of today’s range. Monday’s sharp losses at the CBOT are weighing on the market.  Corn and wheat are making new lows for this latest move.  November Soybeans are trying to stay above the $12.60 support area. In a reversal from last week’s trend, soybean oil is lifting soybean futures while soybean meal is softer.

Yesterday’s USDA report put harvest completion at 59 pct for corn and 77 pct for soybeans.  KENTUCKY’s harvests are running behind normal.

Cattle futures are mixed with little change and are generally trading close to today’s highs.  Boxed beef values surged on Monday so cash cattle price should hold up this week.

Lean Hog futures are lower today following Monday’s big rally.  Prices are supported by concerns that slaughter totals are running short of expectations.
