Breaking News - RTRS-No weather threat to young U.S. corn, soybeans

CHICAGO, July 9 (Reuters) - Scattered showers coupled with cool temperatures in the U.S. Midwest pose no threat to developing corn and soybeans, a forecaster said on Thursday.
"It's mostly favorable weather -- with no threat to corn as it begins pollinating," said Joel Burgio, DTN Meteorlogix forecaster.
The benign weather was ideal for corn as it approaches its key yield determining phase of pollination in the coming weeks. In fact, crops would benefit from slightly warmer temperatures which are headed to the Corn Belt, Burgio said.
