Corn futures are falling with the rest of the grains on Friday, with contracts down to 6 to 8 cents at midday. Spillover from wheat, rains, and month end pressure is a factor. The CmdtyView national average Cash Corn price is down 8 1/4 cents at $4.08 1/4.

Rain fell in parts of NE, the Dakotas, and MN overnight. The next 7 days are looking for 1 to 2 inches across much of MO, WI, IA, IL, IN and OH, mainly in the next day or so.
