In the overnight session the grains traded higher with soybeans leading the way. December Corn was up ¾ of a cent, November soybeans were up 6 ¾ cents and December Chicago wheat was up 1 cent. March soybeans are now trading back above $10 dollars. There is some light snow forecast in Minnesota by Thursday as cooler than normal temperatures become widespread throughout the Midwest by this weekend. The 11-15 day forecast expects heavier snow, but confidence on that event is still quite low.

Rains in southern Brazil corn and soybean producing region are helping to improve the moisture as farmers continue planting. The rains are expected to spread across the major growing regions over the next two weeks, which is favorable for the Brazilian corn and soybean crop. Argentina which has been getting excessive moisture is expected to see a break in precipitation late next week but the 11-15 day forecast shows a return of rain again.
