This is Bob Larson with the Market Line Report for Friday, Mar 8th. Corn prices still down as traders wait for an expected upturn in the market. From the floor of the CME in Chicago, here's Terry Roggensack.

ROGGENSACK ... "Still working its way lower, short-term funds seem to be building a huge net short position in corn. Commitments to traders reports will catch up by this Friday. We have several reasons to believe that the market is about, fundamentally, about ready to turn higher. The starting point for the 1920 season for ending stocks is at 1.65-billion bushels, that's from 1.73-billion this year, 2.14-billion last year and 2.29-billion two years ago. So, the starting points a little lower for ending stocks."
