What follows are opening calls for U.S. grain and oilseed markets.

-- Corn futures are called to open 1 cent to 2 cents a bushel lower on the Chicago Board of Trade on speculation that farmers will sell more stored grain after prices fell from a six-month high yesterday, said Chad Henderson, a Prime Agricultural Consultants Inc. market analyst in Brookfield, Wisconsin.

-- Soybean futures may open steady to 1 cent a bushel lower on the CBOT on record crop potential in Brazil and Argentina, the two biggest producers and exporters after the U.S., Henderson said. Soybean meal may open steady to $1 a short ton lower, and soybean oil may be unchanged to down 0.1 cent a pound, he said.

-- Wheat futures are called to open 1 cent to 2 cents a bushel lower on the CBOT, the Kansas City Board of Trade and the Minneapolis Grain Exchange on speculation that rising world stockpiles will top demand for the grain, Henderson said.
