Corn and soybeans begin the week down as lower continues to be the path of least resistance. Grains as a whole were largely weaker with wheat double-digits lower and corn finishing with 5-7 cent losses and new 2 1/2 year lows.

Soybeans have been their own market since harvest and we saw some excellent export demand develop earlier this month.
