November did print a new one year high of $14.35/bu. Soybean meal added $3-$4/ton on Monday as well. Wheat markets soared higher as war tensions continue. All three complexes ranged from 50-60 cents stronger.


Class III milk continued its aggressive rally trading limit higher in August, September, October, and November. Expanded limits will be present in Tuesday's session as a result.
