March wheat delivery fell 4.5 cents, or 0.86 percent to close at 5.215 dollars per bushel. March soybean delivery was up 1 cent, or 0.11 percent, to close at 9.16 dollars per bushel.
CBOT soybean futures firmed on hot, dry weather in Brazil, which will curb the size of harvest in the world's key soybean exporter.
