Wheat prices that reached new contract highs Tuesday were turned sharply lower Wednesday, partly due to traders nervous about outside markets and partly due to rain in next week's forecast that will only offer limited benefit to the HRW wheat crop. With Dow Jones futures down over 1,000 points, Wednesday afternoon's commodity board was nearly entirely red.
