This is Matt Rice with the Market Line Report for March 10th. Taking a look at yesterday's crop report, traders are keeping an eye on those higher interest rates as they continue to grow. Let's go to Virginia McGathey from the floor of the CME in Chicago as she explains more on the Grain market.

McGathey "Reporting to you on the grain market, today we had the crop report for March. Let's start with Soybeans it was lower, the heavy Brazilian crop really started the day out even before the report came in. It was 10 cents lower, so that's 5 days in a row that the market came down. So it certainly looked like there wasn't going to be anything positive about this report. So the US dollar is so strong, really weighing heavy on these prices."
