   Back From Three-Day Weekend, Crop Prices End Sharply Lower

   Except for rain in the western Plains, most crop areas stayed warm and dry
over the weekend, favorable for planting progress. New-crop contracts of corn,
soybeans and all three U.S. wheats suffered big losses Tuesday with scattered
chances for rain this week that continue to favor western areas.
