CHICAGO, Aug. 1 (Xinhua) -- Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) agricultural futures traded mixed on Wednesday morning, with soybeans falling sharply after a more than three percent surge in the previous session.

As of 1452 GMT, the most active corn contract for December was down 1.5 cents at 3.85 dollars per bushel, and September wheat was up 8.5 cents at 5.6225 dollars per bushel while November soybeans were down 15.25 at 9.0375 dollars per bushel.
