   Crop Prices Continue Post-Memorial Day Slide on Friday

   Corn and soybean prices started higher Friday, but finished lower by the end
of the session, finding no significant support since USDA reported planting
progress on Tuesday. Wheat prices were mixed with a mostly dry forecast still
ahead for crops in southwestern Russia.
