Daily National Grain Market Summary

   Grain and soybean bids traded slight to moderately higher with wheat slightly 
lower.  Wheat was pressured by the lower outside markets and talk of large 
yields for winter wheat this season.  Corn was higher as support came from 
strong cash basis.  Soybeans rallied due to overnight export announcement.  
However, resistance was noted from heavy rain this week in areas of the Midwest 
that was in need of rain.  Wheat was mostly 1-6 cents lower.  Corn was 5-11 
cents higher.  Soybeans were 2-6 cents higher.
