GRAINS-Corn hits 3-year high as traders eye lower US production

Soybeans fell, pressured by falling crude oil, but losses were limited by strong export demand for U.S. beans.

Soybeans Sv1 ended 15-1/4 cents lower at $12.24-1/4 a bushel.

Weak soyoil prices dragged on the soy complex on Monday. Soyoil fell on spillover weakness from crude oil that slipped more than $1 a barrel as investors took profits after recent gains.

Wheat hit its highest in around two years as tit-for-tat attacks by Russia and Ukraine curtailed exports from Black Sea ports, though wheat futures pared gains later in the session.

CBOT wheat Wv1 settled 1/4 cent higher at $6.99-1/2 a bushel, paring gains after hitting a roughly two-year high.
