Corn futures at the Chicago Board of Trade turned firm early on Wednesday on short-covering after the sharp break of prices on Tuesday, traders said.
Corn fell roughly 3 to 5 cents per bushel on Tuesday amid fund selling after the US government, in its September crop report, forecast this year's US corn crop to be the second-largest ever and above an average of analysts' estimates.
At 10:09 am CDT (1509 GMT), CBOT corn was up 3/4 to 2 cents per bushel, with September up 1-3/4 at $2.25-1/4 per bushel. New-crop December was up 1-3/4 at $2.39-1/2 per bushel.
