Chicago Early Call

Corn futures are expected to open 4 to 8 lower; soybeans 13 to 18 lower; wheat 4 to 13 lower. General liquidation ideas put pressure on markets in the overnight trade. Planting progress should improve some this week as midwest temperatures warm up, although there is also still quite a bit of rain in the forecast. Whilst this rain will benefit wheat in dry areas of the plains it may hinder corn planting in parts of the midwest.
