WISCONSIN (CBS 58) -- Commodities trading has been chaotic as Russia's war on Ukraine continues.
Sanctions have disrupted shipments of raw materials in the Black Sea, and that's having a big effect on agriculture markets worldwide.

Analysts say major importers are left scrambling to find other major exporters of wheat.
