Cash hog prices continued to decline in midweek trade, with national basis weaker than its three-year average. SRW wheat cash fell 26.75 cents to $5.42 1/4 with basis firming.
HRW wheat cash fell 29.25 cents to $5.81 3/4.
Lower cash hog and wheat prices reflect softer demand and ample wheat supply, which weighs on feed grain and livestock price expectations.
