CHICAGO, Aug 27 (Reuters) -Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) corn, soybean wheat futures strengthened on Tuesday, as a spell of hot weather hit the U.S. Midwest and the market took in weekly crop ratings from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which all fell from last week.
The most active corn contract on the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) Cv1 was up 6-1/4 cents at 3.92-3/4 a bushel at 1113 CDT (1613 GMT), while soybeans Sv1 rose 5 cents to $9.85-3/4.
Wheat Wv1 jumped 12-3/4 cents to $5.37-3/4 a bushel.
The USDA's weekly crop progress and condition report, released on Monday after trading ended, showed corn, soybean and wheat ratings below analyst expectations.
The government agency rated 65% of the U.S. corn crop as good to excellent, down from 67% the prior week, while analysts surveyed by Reuters on average had expected only a 1-point drop.
A heatwave and lack of rainfall impacting large parts of the U.S. Midwest could damage the soybean crop during its key development stage, leaving industry players uncertain about projected record yields.
"With this heat that’s hitting Iowa and surrounding, we're starting to get a little bit of interest in the market," said Karl Setzer, Partner at Consus Ag Consulting.
The extreme heat in the central U.S. was expected to moderate as the week progresses, according to Commodity Weather Group.
Setzer said short covering also lent support to corn and soybeans.
In wheat, he noted the grain had rebounded after hitting contract lows earlier in the morning. Wheat was oversold, causing buyers to jump back into the grain, he said.
Elsewhere for the crop, recent rains in Argentina's agricultural heartland were not enough to boost the country's wheat crop, which has withered on lack of precipitation, the Rosario Grains Exchange said on Monday.
