This is Matt Rice with the Market Line Report for Feb. 15th. Wheat finally taking advantage of the market as prices climb well over that $4 mark. Here's Todd Horwitz from the floor of the CME, to share his thoughts on the grain market.

Horwitz " Wheat has been rising higher and I think that we've seen that over time, we've been watching this the high 3's and we continue to see a nice rally and every pull back has been a nice opportunity to buy. I think that will continue, I think another thing to look at is how depress and pushed down wheat was. Which I think when we really start to get movement in the breakout and being very bullish to space coming into the new year."
