This is Bob Larson with the Market Line Report for Friday, June 8th. The grain market is holds somewhat steady on Thursday. From the floor of the CME in Chicago, here's Larry Shover.

SHOVER ... "July corn, fractionally lower today. Right now, the last five days for the month of July, contracts down 4-and-a-half percent, still holding on to almost a 2-and-a-half year-to-date gain. Let's see what happens going forward. USDA export sales came out a little bit shy of expectations. That's really adding pressure to the market a little bit today. 838,616 metric tons of old crop corn was sold. That was more than twice as large as the same week last year, but 15.5% behind this time last week."
