Weather is similar to yesterday. Moisture will improve conditions in the southern Plains. The Midwest will also see moisture increase through parts of the region during the next several days. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
Wheat could expand upon the overnight corrective strength efforts. News is limited. US Plains moisture conditions are improving. Overall conditions will increase selling interest if values test this week's highs. Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â
Corn experienced decent corrective efforts overnight, after yesterday's downside rout. Trader sentiment remains universally bullish. Short-term efforts to recover more of yesterday's losses could unfold today. New news is limited. Weakness below yesterday's lows has potential of expanding profit-protecting strategy efforts.

Soybeans recovered all of yesterday's losses during the night session. New news is limited. Some acres may benefit from moisture moving through the Midwest during the next several days.
