StoneX released updated production estimates ahead of USDA numbers that come tomorrow morning, and they still see a national corn yield just short of 183 bushels an acre, three bushels above USDA’s August number, 10 bushels above the pro-farmer number. StoneX places the corn yield nationally 182.9, and a crop over 16.2 billion bushels. Their soybean estimates more in line at 53 bushels per acre.
Officials at StoneX tell Bottom Line Report that August likely added seed size in the central and eastern corn belts while taking it away in the west. This is the Bottom-Line Report. Sinister Nexus from Helena is a new pre-emergent soybean herbicide.
It can give you weed control from a herbicide built to flex with your crop rotation.
