This is Bob Larson with the Market Line Report for Wednesday, Sep 18th. Crop conditions rise as the value dips in Tuesday's corn market. From the floor of the CME in Chicago, here's Scott Shellady.

SHELLADY ... "Kind of a tough day over in the grain markets. Let's talk about corn. Normally, September crop conditions, you really wouldn't be paying too much attention to, but we've kind of had to because we've got everything in so late. They improved 1% last night and that's enough for things to tail off. You need to feed the bull every day. There wasn't anything bullish. A slightly better improvement in crop conditions has sent the market kind of tailing off. It's interesting to see that after the 22% bounce that we've had just as of late, after the USDA. We're kind of tailing off, number one, because of that 1% crop improvement, but also I think, in sympathy with crude oil, and when things run out folks start to get out of their positions, maybe take some things off the table."
