Corn and wheat rose again.
Oilseeds were off on profit taking and technical factors.
Canola was further pressured by the stronger loonie.

As the price rose it gained technical strength, adding to momentum.
Corn rose with support from wheat and a strong domestic cash market. American ethanol makers turned out a record amount of the fuel last week.
