While parts of the Midwest dig out from a late winter snow storm, buyers around the world appear to be taking note of lower prices, with tenders emerging for wheat and corn this week. A big drop by the Chinese stock market today hasn’t rippled around the world much, a good sign for growers hoping that winter lows are in. Prices are moving higher overnight, with corn, soybeans and wheat all posting modest gains.

Knorr discusses overnight market moves with Pam Jahnke, Wisconsin Farm Report, and you can listen using the audio tool on this page (just scroll down).
