OMAHA (DTN) -- Posted 12:53 -- December corn is up 9 3/4 cents per bushel, January soybeans are up 38 cents, December KC wheat is up 2 1/2 cents, December Chicago wheat is up 4 cents and December MIAX wheat is up 7 cents. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is down 256.67 points. The U.S. Dollar Index is up 0.600 and December crude oil is down $0.74 per barrel. December gold is down $77.20 per ounce. Lower-than-expected yield and production on corn coupled with higher exports sent corn surging.

Wheat was mostly neutral but got a boost from corn and soy strength.
