Corn, soybean, wheat futures plunge ahead of weekend

Chicago Mercantile Exchange grain prices mostly fell on Friday July 26. The August CME soymeal futures contract showed the only increase, rising by $0.90 per short ton to $353.30 per ton.

Meanwhile, September corn fell by 11.50 cents per bu to $3.94 per bu.
