   Row Crops Ease Lower After Weekend Rains

   December corn ended down 2 3/4 cents and November soybeans were down 8 3/4
cents Monday, pressured by favorable rains over the weekend from eastern South
Dakota to Wisconsin and northern Illinois. Weather will be the main focus again
this week with news of more ships leaving Ukraine also providing background
interest.
