There are no significant reports on Friday's docket. While the weather forecasts are becoming less important for this year's row crops, traders are still keeping an eye out for winter wheat planting and spring wheat harvest conditions. Traders also continue to keep watch over news from Ukraine, Russia and China and outside markets.
Weather
A strong cold front has pushed through the Northern Plains and is moving through the Central Plains and Upper Midwest early Friday. The front is bringing in a shot of much colder fall-like temperatures and bands of showers are developing behind the front as well. Temperatures out ahead of the front still remain above normal, which continues to stress the late stages of filling corn and soybeans and prevent much winter wheat planting from occurring as well.
