In the grain market wheat futures saw a pull back after new highs earlier in the week.

From the floor of the CME Here's Virginia McGathey:

(( Ofcourse a little profit taking because the market has been soaring and surging beyond what anyone had expected. Even though we're getting into the 3rd trimester of the growing season for Winter Wheat and we know that at some point in time in the very near future we are going to have to see if there really is some difficulty in the crops, if there is any real crop damage. At that point then we're going to start to talk about yield numbers ))
