I'm Tom Allen with Market Line Report for April 28, 2015 filling in for Kaydee Gilkey who is a key note speaker for AgChats in Spokane. Monday was off to a slow roll with wheat and corn at a low possible due to better weather and fieldwork. From the floor of the CME Group, Scott Shellady shares his observations of Monday's markets. Shellady: "Fairly slow. Today did not disappoint in that slow market. Beans up, corn and wheat taking it on the chin. Double digits for wheat but that's what's expected because 5-15 wheat was unsustainable with the weather the way it looked.
