USDA on Wednesday raised its production forecasts for this year’s corn, soybeans and winter wheat plus raised ending stocks for corn and wheat.

The changes prompted selling in the crop markets, where corn, soybeans and wheat are lower for the day. Spring wheat has the smallest losses due to the ongoing problems with that crop.
