Nearly 1,100 people attended the Great Grain Market debate headlined by Bryce Knorr at Commodity Classic last week. Growers asked why the market is bouncing up and down so much. Know said outside money has inflated the market.

Grain markets were higher this morning.

There are two reports to watch for this week. The first comes out Thursday when USDA updates the supply and demand tables for old-crop. The biggest news is likely to come from South America. All signs point to larger crops from South America. The second report to watch for is the Labor Department's jobs report, which is expected to find that employment grew in February. Next week, the Federal Reserve meets and it may raise interest rates.
