CBOT wheat settled about 1% higher on July 29, with corn and soybeans also firm on dry Midwest weather. SovEcon cut its forecast for Russia's 2019/20 grain exports by 7 million tonnes to 41.9 million tonnes.
Corn and soybean prices were supported by the Midwest dryness.
Lower Russian export availability and Midwest dryness both support wheat, corn and soybean prices, which raises feed grain costs.
