Ag Commodities: "Wheat dips to near 2-month low on abundant global supplies"

We didn't do much with wheat last year, what with the cool and the wet and the late planting of corn and soybeans on the one hand and the pigs in China dying and thus not eating along with trade war on the other, and seriously who has the time?
