CHICAGO: Chicago Board of Trade corn futures ended lower again on Tuesday after dropping from a six-month high a day earlier as promising harvest weather and strong crop conditions ratings weighed on the market.

The most-active CBOT December futures contract ended 1/2 cent lower at $3.69-1/4 per bushel.

Seasonal harvest pressure weighed on the corn market as clear weather has allowed farmers to begin harvest across the US south and parts of the Midwest, traders said.
