Aug 5 (Reuters) - Archer-Daniels-Midland ( ADM ) posted
a fall in second-quarter profit on Tuesday, hurt by weakness in
oilseed crush margins and weak performance in its grain
origination and crushing business.
The Chicago-based company reported net earnings of $219
million, or 45 cents per share, for the quarter ended June 30,
down from $486 million, or 98 cents per share, a year ago.
