New-crop December spring wheat futures leaped higher on Tuesday, but ended near the middle of the session's range. DTN analysis indicates that late planting of spring wheat doesn't necessarily lead to lower acres and reduced yields.

Falling farm stocks as of March 31 was a feature across many grains in Tuesday's Statistics Canada report, with only stocks of durum, canola and soybeans showing a year-over-year increase in stocks.

Canada's market access issues with China have largely been viewed as a canola story. Canada's soybean exports show reasons for concern.
