Tuesday's World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) left new crop U.S. corn ending stocks 7 million bushels higher than a month ago and yields revised up 2.1 bu/acre to 167.4. Although yields were revised up, they are still quite a bit lower than expected, with the average trade estimate falling at 170.1 bu/acre. U.S. new crop corn production is higher at a record 14.032 billion bushels, again lower than the expected 14.25 billion bushels. Corn use is revised upward nearly across the board, with the biggest increase coming in feed use with a 50 million bushel increase in consumption. There was a 25 million bushel upward revision for exports, ethanol use, and food, seed, industrial use.
Yield estimates for the state of Mississippi were also reported in today's crop production report. Based on current conditions, Mississippi is expected to top last year's record yield at 178 bu/acre, 2 bu/acre higher than a year ago. Overall, the report has had a bullish impact on corn markets with September futures closing up a little more than a penny on the day after trading lower much of the morning before the report's release.
