This is Bob Larson with the Market Line Report for Monday, Sep 2nd. The wheat market falls in Friday trading as harvest is underway in much of the country. From the floor of the CME in Chicago, here's Virginia McGathey.

McGATHEY ... "Wheat fell today. We've got stockpiles of grain everywhere and it's having a hard time to really find anything to give the market a boost. Today, wheat technical really were pressing the market lower and they're keeping that down-trend intact. I'm not sure how much lower it can go, but with wheat lower today, soybeans higher, corn a little bit steady, just tells you that the market is kind of looking for something to give it more direction, but all eyes are definitely going to be on September. And, the interesting thing is, nobody's even talking about the high U.S. Dollar Index. That's definitely going to play a role down the road for our ability to really export outside of the United States. So, that's something to watch as we go forward after this holiday."
