Corn and winter wheat started the first trading day of 2017 a little higher after being lower for 2016.
Market attention remains on South America, where Argentina and Brazil should have rain this week.
Brazil will be harvesting soybeans soon and dry weather will be needed. Argentina’s soybean harvest is about two months away.
The dollar bounded to a new 14-year high early on Tuesday. It soon parred gains, but remains higher.
