US Crop Prices Mixed Amid Middle East Tensions

July soybeans ended up 4 1/4 cents Wednesday, finding light support after
reaching their lowest prices in a month, while other futures prices showed
concerns about a possible escalation of fighting in the Middle East. All three
U.S. wheat prices finished lower, hindered by an expensive U.S. dollar and
chronic lack of demand.
