CBOT futures mostly closed strongly higher and near the day's highs. Corn led the rally with strong follow-through buying to Tuesday's rally. Live cattle closed slightly lower with bigger losses in the feeder futures due to higher corn prices. Lean hog futures were down slightly except for nearby October LH which closed up 1.90 at 82.27.

Corn and soybean futures closed lower, although well off the day’s lows, as traders were disappointed there wasn’t follow-through buying to Friday’s higher closes. Cattle futures closed lower, pressured by weaker boxed beef values and a weekend fire at the JBS plant in Grand Island, NE. Lean hog futures also closed sharply lower and are down around $9/cwt in the past week.

Down the Backroads | Kindness Really Is a Way of Life in Kentucky

A recent survey conducted by an organization known as “Kindness.org” listed Kentucky as being the kindest state in the U.S. Now, I’m no rocket scientist, but I have figured that one out; no survey needed.
