March corn rose by a large margin on a bullish U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) final crop and December stock report.

March soybean rose slightly on a neutral USDA report. The USDA estimated U.S. soybean production in 2013 at 3.289 billion bushels; yield at 43.3 bushels per acre, nearly reaching record highs with record yield in eastern and southern U.S. making up for poor growing weather in central U.S.; and U.S. soybean stocks by Dec. 1 at 2.148 billion bushels.

The USDA estimated world soybean end stock at a record high of 72.33 million tonnes.
