CBOT December soymeal rises 40c, or 0.1%, to $369.30 per short ton; December soyoil gains 0.1c, or 0.2%, to 57.48c per pound.

EU rapeseed harvest looking bad, rain slows work
HAMBURG, July 21 (Reuters) - The European Union is facing a sharply lower rapeseed crop in 2011, with falls in Germany and Eastern Europe outweighing better outlooks for crops in France and Britain, traders and analysts said on Thursday.
"The poor crop forecasts in Germany and the east look like being confirmed," a rapeseed trader said. "With harvesting now underway, there are increasing signs improvements in other EU regions are not enough to make up the losses."
