Read excerpt
Futures were on the plus side to start today as light short covering developed. One reason for this was the September stocks report, but also from month and quarter end position squaring. Wet weather continues to cause disruptions across the Corn Belt, offering cash market support. More quality concerns are being seen, bringing total US crop sizes further into question.
