With Friday's WASDE Report approaching, mixed CME Group corn, soybean and wheat markets can be expected today. 

The Early Calls for the commodities on Wednesday, March 7, 2012, are mostly higher. 

Corn and soybeans are seen opening 2-3 cents higher and wheat 1-2 cents lower.

In overnight trading, the May corn futures contract traded 1/4 of a cent higher at $6.54 1/4 per bushel. May soybean futures traded 1 cent higher at $13.36 3/4 per bushel, and May wheat traded 1 1/2 cents lower at $6.56 1/4.
