I'm KayDee Gilkey with the Market Line Report for February 21, 2014.
The wheat markets ended mixed on Thursday. From the floor of the CME Group Larry Shover shares his observations of Thursday's markets.
Shover: "Wheat down about 2 cents on the day after a pretty severely mixed day yesterday. We know that yesterday Ag Canada came out and projected that harvest was down about 6 percent on the year. Texas also came out and reporting that crop conditions were down 1 percent week on week that goes to about 17 percent good to excellent. China still offering we're seeing about 413,000 metric tons being sold in the market, surprising some traders."
