Corn and winter wheat futures hovered near unchanged at midday, while soybeans were a few cents lower as traders await Thursday’s USDA crop production and supply/demand reports. That report will be released at 11 a.m. central time on Thursday.

Soybeans are lower possibly getting some pressure after USDA reported the cancellation of a sale of about 4.8 million bushels old-crop soybeans to unknown destinations.
