MGEX spring wheat also firmed, with support for the March contract seen at the 10-day moving average. MGEX gains were limited and the March spring wheat contract failed to break Thursday's high.
K.C. hard red winter wheat futures closed in negative territory. The US Agriculture Department on Friday morning said that private exporters reported the sale of 130,000 tonnes of soft red winter wheat for delivery to unknown destinations during the 2017/18 marketing year.
