Markets
As usual on a Monday, new forecasts will be checked for the week with concerns about the recent appearance of dry conditions, especially in the eastern Midwest. USDA's weekly report of export inspections is due out at 10 a.m. CDT, followed by the Crop Progress report at 3 p.m. Any trade news will also be noticed.
Weather
Dry conditions will cover all major crop areas Monday. Temperatures will be seasonal to above normal north and central and very warm to hot south, notably in the Southern Plains. The warm to hot conditions will stress row crops, but will favor Northern Plains and Northwest wheat harvest.
