DTN Closing Grain Comments    04/19 13:46
   Row Crops Push Higher; Wheat Mixed

   July corn closed up 6 3/4 cents and July soybeans were up 14 cents, both
supported by strong domestic demand and ongoing concerns about dry weather
early in 2021. Wheat prices ended quietly mixed, not showing much concern about
this week's colder temperatures in the western Plains.
