The wheat complex is showing mixed action with the hard red contracts showing gains. CBT soft red wheat futures are posting fractional losses on Wednesday. KC HRW futures are trading with fractional gains so far. MPLS spring wheat futures are up 2 to 3 cents so far at midday.

Weather is turning dry for much of the winter wheat growing region in the next week, allowing for planting to continue, though it is less than ideal for helping emergence.
