The Early Calls for the commodities on Thursday, November 17, 2011, are lower. Corn is seen opening 1-2 cents lower, soybeans 2-4 cents lower, and wheat 3-5 cents lower.

With tremendous concern overt the European debt crisis, the outside markets remain under heavy pressure. 

In overnight electronic trading, the Dec. corn futures contract traded 4 3/4 cents lower at $6.38 per bushel. The Jan. soybean futures contract traded 3 1/4 cents lower at $11.84 1/4 per bushel.
