Grain and livestock futures are showing little change at midday on a lack of significant market news.  The outside markets are generally supportive with higher energy futures and equity markets.

Friday is an important date for the markets.  JUNE LC will end trading and the JULY CBOT contracts have First Notice Day for deliveries.  More importantly are the USDA reports on planted acreage, Grain Stocks, and Hogs and Pigs.
