A rally in crude oil and rumors of Chinese crushers needing to book soybeans and soyoil helped the CBOT open firmer. Corn and soybeans traded higher for the day while wheat continued to post losses as traders bear spread that commodity against corn and soybeans.

Farmers made solid progress planting spring crops last week, despite unfavorable weather this weekend. The corn and soybean crops are ahead of schedule while cold, rainy weather across the northwestern U.S. hampers spring wheat planting.
