This is Bob Larson with the Market Line Report for Monday May 8th. Weather in the Midwest continues to keep grain traders on their toes. With more from the floor of the CME in Chicago, here's Alan Knuckman ...

Knuckman ... "Talking grains with a focus on corn. Corn today was up 1 pecent, up 4 cents. 371 was the finish for the week. It's been an interesting weather-driven week. We had that higher open on Monday and because of the weather, there's concerns about the plantings being behind schedule could see a shift into soybeans and that's given the corn market a bit of a boost. Also, on a fundamental basis, maybe less talked about this week, but there is an undercurrent of concern in the fact that Brazil, Brazil's ethanol demand could be hurt as they're talking about potential tax on the products from the United States."
