The CME Group's corn, soybean and wheat markets are expected to start lower.
The early calls for the commodities on Thursday, January 2, 2013, are lower. Corn is seen opening 1-2 cents lower, soybeans 1-2 cents lower, and wheat 1-2 cents lower.
The farm markets were closed for the holiday, during the overnight hours.
The outside markets are unfavorable for Thurday's grain trade. The real factors driving the calls will be follow-through from Tuesday's lower markets.
