Grain prices ended mixed on Monday with row crops shaking off the early risk off mood from the outside markets as they held 100 day moving averages.

Lean hog futures were also firmer except October with the cash index continuing to rise and provide support. Michelle Rook talks with Pat Von Tersch of Professional Ag Marketing.
