This is Bob Larson with the Market Line Report for Monday, January 22nd. The grain market was a little off the mark on Friday. From the floor of the CME in Chicago, here's Virginia McGathey ...

Virginia McGathey ... "Wheat was a little bit weaker. The weather concerns are really no longer an issue anymore. And it's just too early to predict any kind of crop damage even though there is more dryness in the plains and I know that cold-snap everyone was kind of worried about it. And, it certainly looks like the traders are taking the 'been there, done that' kind of attitude and so there not really certain of whether there is going to be any problems and even if there is, we're not going to know for a couple of months so no one is really jumping on board and pushing this market higher. That being said, the market still is relatively strong overall for this time of year. So, it's still behaving pretty well, but it was off a little bit today and it's the end of the week and some profit taking really put a little bit of pressure on the market."
