Hey there, agriculture aficionados and crop connoisseurs! Buckle up, because we've got some exciting news!  We just released our November 2023 Crop Production and Yield Forecasts for US corn and soybeans.  

The most recent report sees end-of-season yield at 183.7 (bu/ac) for Corn, which is 8.8 (bu/ac) above the USDA’s latest forecast. The 2023 corn crop faced late spring snow, early fall snow, a sprinkle of unpredictable rainfall, and a dash of summer drought. According to the USDA, corn harvest is 93% complete, compared to 88% last week, 96% last year, and the five-year average of 91%.


The latest report sees end-of-season yield at 52.0 (bu/ac) for soybeans, which is 2.1 (bu/ac) above the USDA's most recent forecast.
