The drier pattern for the next 7 days will help the US corn & bean crops, after a few weeks of very wet weather. According to yesterday’s USDA crop update, 73% of US corn was rated either good or excellent, and 69% of soybeans received the same ratings. These were both down slightly (2%) from the week prior, but with the current pattern coupled with the expected outlook for the next 10 days, we are anticipating ratings for both crops to improve. The map below shows the Weather Trends outlook for rainfall over the next 7 days, with corn/bean regions shaded.
