Farmer selling of corn and soybeans remained light recently as corn planting got under way in number of Midwest areas before weekend showers and cooler weather forced a halt to that activity. Rain amounts of ½ to 1-1/2 inches were reported from Iowa to southern Indiana through early Monday. The planting delays were not considered serious for corn as forecasts indicate a break in the wet pattern next week.
