   Wheat Falls Further on Record Crop Estimate for Australia

   March contracts of all three U.S. wheats suffered losses after Australia's
government estimated a record wheat crop for 2022-23, soon to be harvested.
Corn and soybeans were also lower, pressured by lower energy prices and a
higher U.S. dollar in outside markets.
