Soybeans down as China buys Argentina beans. Corn follows with harvest pressure. Wheat sees technical buying. Cattle make all-time highs on higher cash. Hogs consolidate. John Heinberg, Total Farm Marketing, has more.

Soybeans see profit-taking and a poor technical close with talk of China buying Argentina beans and a disappointing NOPA crush figure. That weighed on corn as well as harvest pressure. Wheat sees technical buying trying to put lows in. Cattle make all-time highs on higher cash, with $183 in the south up $3 and $292 in the north steady to $2 higher. Hogs are consolidating after hitting chart resistance. John Heinberg, Total Farm Marketing, covers it all!
