   Wheat Markets Crater as Dollar Surges; Corn, Soy Markets Head Lower

   Wheat and corn continued to correct lower Friday, with wheat selling more
intense following a better-than-expected jobs number leading to the fifth
consecutive rise in the U.S. Dollar Index. Soybeans and soy products faltered
after a firmer opening as rain chances improved for Brazil and the U.S. harvest
weather remains favorable for the next few weeks.
