   GENERAL COMMENTS:

   In a time where trade agreements are all but on the table, we need to keep
in mind where the market is in regard to season trends and behavior. If next
week is depressed, it doesn't mean the world is ending, December isn't
typically time for the market to rally. March corn is up 3 1/4 cents per bushel
and January soybean meal is up $2.70. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is up
3.33 points and NASDAQ is up 17.56 points.
