A developing story in Mexico with a swine flu outbreak that may not seem directly related to agriculture but it is. Think about it as a function of feed demand with Mexico representing one of our largest customers. Less swine means less corn needed for feed. This has a possibe bearish impact on the trade but it remains early in the cycle giving us the rest of the weekend to keep updated.
