# U.S. grains: Wheat, soy, corn futures extend surge on volatile global weather - AgCanada

> U.S. wheat, soybean and corn futures rose to multi-month highs on Monday on concerns about crop-damaging weather in Brazil and Russia. July wheat settled up 26-1/4 cents at $6.48-3/4, July corn ended up 8-3/4 cents at $4.69, and July soybeans climbed 33-3/4 cents to $12.48-3/4. Consultancy IKAR cut its forecast for Russia's wheat crop and flooding in Rio Grande do Sul was deteriorating the soybean harvest.
