This is Bob Larson with the Market Line Report for Thursday, August 17th. A lot of red on the trading floor Wednesday. From the Allendale trading desk with details, here's Steve Georgy ...

Georgy ... "Corn, beans and wheat falling off yesterday, but catching a little bit of support right now as we've gotten into this price point where there's probably more economic value here from that last report. So, what do we do from here? There have been some good rains that come through Nebraska overnight again, second day in a row now stretching into Iowa. So, we'll see what kind of rains this does produce, but certainly helping out the beans, more or less, here it is August. Temperatures are supposed to remain a little bit cooler, not as hot. Today, it does get a little warm, but it is supposed to remain more to the normal temperatures that we've seen so not a big exciting story out of that."
