   Lower Start For Crop Prices Turns Mixed Wednesday

   After Tuesday afternoon's USDA report showed good planting progress,
Wednesday started as another predominantly red day for price quotes in the
grain sector. But by the end of the session, new-crop prices of corn and
soybeans were well above their lows of the day and July soy products were
steady to higher.
