This is Bob Larson with the Market Line Report for Monday, December 11th. Uncertainty in the grain market is reflected in prices. From the floor of the CME in Chicago, here's Virginia McGathey ...

Virginia McGathey ... "Wheat was mixed today and two-sided trade was just enough to offer minimal optimism here. The market did slip certain times of the day and so it's just showing some weakness. Everyone's a little bit worried. There has been some light buying that really stopped the bleeding. So, even though the market's been down a couple of cents it isn't like a free-for-all because we know that the global supplies are really huge. The US Dollar Index is up slightly, not that big, but it still makes it very difficult for the US farmers in wheat to be able to compete against the world. So, we're competing against Russia and certainly the European Union, but global supplies are really large and it's going to make it very challenging."
