Today's USDA reports sent the wheat and soybean market higher and they brought corn along for the ride.

The weather looks to be hotter in July across much of the nation.

The funds are increasing their net shorts in corn and soybeans.

USDA is closed on Monday, but the market is open and Bob will be working, but Crop Progress report won't be out until Wednesday. Other reports will be delayed as well.

Listen to the report using the audio link on this page.
