DTN Closing Grain Comments 02/13 13:51 Corn, Soybeans Continue Choppy; Wheat Closes With Slight Gains Following Tuesday's sharp rally in both corn and soybeans on renewed optimism for a U.S.-China trade deal, and the unlikely shutdown of the U.S. government, prices Wednesday are back to their choppy, sideways pattern. Wheat finished just slightly higher, after Minneapolis had solid early gains. Minneapolis saw midday gains of 7 3/4 cents -- likely a function of much higher freight costs and logistical issues, and a surging basis, as heavy snows and cold will continue to hit the PNW and Northern Plains.
