   EARLY MORNING GLOBEX NET CHANGES: May corn is up 1/4 cent per bushel, May
soybeans are up 1 1/2 cents, May KC wheat is up 3/4 cent, May Chicago wheat is
down 2 1/2 cents, and MIAX May Minneapolis wheat is up 0.0075 cents.

   CME GLOBEX RECAP: On Wednesday, May corn rose 4 3/4 cents, May soybeans
gained 16 3/4 cents, and May KC wheat increased by 13 3/4 cents. Corn basis
remained steady, while soybean, hard red winter wheat, and spring wheat basis
weakened, and soft red winter wheat basis strengthened. Market gains were
driven by news like the White House rescheduling President Trump's visit with
China for mid-May and the anticipated biofuel blending quotas EPA plans to
announce before the month's end. Corn benefited from strong weekly ethanol
output and the EPA's approval of summer E15 sales nationwide. Wheat was
supported by Iran's rejection of the U.S. 15-point plan to end the war.

Industrial Average up 305.43 at 46,429.49 and the S&P 500 up 35.53 at 6,591.90.
