> Chicago wheat spiked after USDA's Small Grains Summary cut the 2022 U.S. wheat crop to 1.650 billion bushels, below analysts' estimates and the August forecast. Corn rose on smaller-than-expected September 1 stocks while soybeans fell after larger-than-expected soybean stocks, and Russia's annexation of Ukrainian territory added geopolitical tension.
