Farm commodities were mixed on Wednesday amid broadly weaker US Dollar and positive economic data from the US. However, soft demand for US exports weighted down on the commodity group.

Wheat was the top-performer, erasing previous losses as dry weather in the US southern Great Plaints is threatening to cap output. At the same time, rains in Arkansas and Ohio are expected to boost output of Midwest varieties.

Corn was bullish on speculation that the USDA will not raise its domestic supply forecast again as the end of the harvesting period looms. Restricting the upswing, Argentina may increase corn export quotas between 2012 and 2013.

Coffee dropped as US inventories posted the longest jump in almost nine years. Speculation that Brazil's  growers may increase sales also weighted down on coffee futures.
