A commodity market analyst says he wouldn’t be surprised to see a slight boost to the national corn yield and minor decrease to the national soybean yield in USDA’s October projections.
Matt Bennett, co-founder of AgMarket.net, also farms in central Illinois. He tells Brownfield so far, corn yields have been better than expected and the report should reflect that, but he says “My gut feeling is you’re not going get something that’s going to turn the tide of these markets, which right now kind of seems like a sharply sideways pattern for corn.”
He says soybeans are drying down fast and later maturing varieties aren’t yielding as well, so he predicts that estimate could come down a notch.
