Corn drew support from record August exports, while soybeans strengthened as harvest continued to lag the normal pace. Wheat posted double-digit gains with winter wheat planting behind average and fresh Black Sea concerns in the trade. Cattle futures jumped before weekly cash business developed. October hogs edged higher, though later contracts weakened as cash hog and pork values moved lower.
