The volume of trade last night in the grain market was still nothing to brag about with the numbers on the thin side. But there was continued focus on South American dry weather and as long as it does stay dry that will help U.S. markets. To listen to Tom Leffler and Lory Williams discuss the markets on The Ag Network use the audio player on this page.
