Purdue University Ag Economist Jim Mintert says he is anticipating at or above-trend corn yields after a shift in expectations in the past 10 days.
“A week ago all the talk was about dry weather and hot weather and in the interim we’ve gotten some rain in a number of locations across the corn belt and the temperature forecast has changed appreciably to mostly in the upper 80s,” he says. “That sounds like pretty good corn growing weather.”
USDA left corn yield unchanged at nearly 179 bushels per
acre in its latest supply and demand report.
