   Corn Futures Dip on Record WASDE Report Yield but Recover; Soybeans and
Products Finish Firm on Neutral Report

   Corn futures fell hard after the release of the September WASDE as USDA, in
their first in-field survey this season, found a record yield for corn at 183.6
bpa. Down close to 8 cents at one point, December corn came roaring back to
finish higher by the close. After a mostly neutral report for both soybeans and
wheat, soybeans and soy products closed firm while wheat was a mixed affair.
