Bryant Gill filling in for Pam on the Wisconsin Farm Report

Grain futures are posting gains across the board this morning, reflecting a better mood for risk taking around the world. Soybeans make new eight-month highs, continuing to attract interest from money managers, helping wheat and corn recover a bit of yesterday’s losses ahead of today’s USDA supply and demand report. While corn planting appears off to a normal start, winter wheat rating deteriorated last week, ahead of a big storm targeting the Plains.
