DTN Closing Grain Comments    06/11 13:57
   Storms Roll Across Plains, Cratering Grains, Soy Complex

   In a weird reaction to a bullish June WASDE report on corn, some storms
moving across parts of the Western Corn Belt and the Northern Plains sent corn
reeling Friday. Wheat and soybeans, already bogged down by the slightly bearish
WASDE report, also fell hard as the storms promised some relief to the ongoing
drought in the north.
