It’s the official beginning of shrimping season in Louisiana; Russia’s grain embargo has just taken effect; the Obama administration tries to figure out how to approach mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac; a judge’s ruling effectively bans planting genetically modified sugar beets; and the Congressional Budget Office will release its budget outlook.
