This is Bob Larson with the Market Line Report for Wednesday, July 18th. A change in yield predictions impacts the corn market. From the floor of the CME in Chicago, here's Terry Roggensack.

ROGGENSACK ... "Today, we wanted to talk about the corn market and the heat we saw in June and July. What would happen if it's not a record corn yield? First factor would be that the drop in the Weekly Conditions Report opens the door for discussion on whether or not we have a normal-type yield this year or a record-type yield. So far, the market has priced in a record-type yield. We did note a big drop in crop conditions this week, especially in Missouri and some of the other key trouble spots. We also saw Southern Minnesota with too much rain as a factor."
