Soybeans May Rise in Chicago as U.S. Farmers Cut Plantings; Corn May Gain

(Bloomberg) -- Soybeans may rise to a three-year
high on the Chicago Board of Trade after U.S. farmers planted
the fewest acres in 12 years. Corn may climb as livestock and
dairy producers snap up the cheapest supplies since April.

Twenty of 25 traders, farm advisers and merchants surveyed
June 29 recommended buying soybeans, and 14 said to buy corn.
Soybeans for November delivery rose 6.1 percent last week to
$8.8175 a bushel, the eighth gain in nine weeks. December corn
tumbled 8.1 percent to $3.5075 a bushel, capping a two-week
decline of 16 percent, the largest such drop since July 1997.
