Ag market proved generally mixed Monday

Corn was supported by slow planting prospects Monday. Although some farmers may have been able to rush some corn planting late last week, the advent of wet, chilly weather over the Corn Belt over the weekend reportedly encouraged buying. Little corn is likely to get planted during the next two weeks, which suggests diminished harvest potential next fall. May corn inched up 0.75 cent to $5.0775/bushel as Monday’s pit session ended, while December added 0.75 cent to $5.07.
