The USDA’s national condition ratings for corn and soybeans dipped slightly last week. That’s typical for this time of year as harvest starts to pick up steam.
As of Sunday, 52% of U.S. corn is rated good to excellent, down 1% on the week, with 87% dented, 40% mature, and 7% harvested, all behind their respective normal paces.
55% of soybeans are called good to excellent, 1% lower, with 42% dropping leaves and 3% harvested, both slower than normal.
