The USDA’s national corn and soybean condition ratings improved last week. That followed solid rainfall in parts of the Midwest and Plains, but that precipitation did miss portions of the region and forecasts for this week are also mixed.
As of Sunday, 55% of U.S. corn is called good to excellent, up 4% on the week, with 22% silking and 3% at the dough making stage, both just ahead of the respective five-year averages.
