US Producers Report Lower Yields for Corn and Soybeans
Allendale, Inc. a Chicago area agricultural commodity brokerage and analysis firm projected the US corn crop at 14.108 billion bushels and a soybean crop of 4.435 billion bushels.

The 33rd annual Nationwide Producer Yield Survey was conducted from August 15 – 28. The surveys were conducted direct by our brokers as well as via our website and social media platforms.

These estimates were based on producer calculated yields in 26 states. Ample surveys gave us the numbers needed to project yields in 12 states. This covers 86% of corn production and 83% of soybean production. For this survey, the smaller states were assumed using USDA’s August 12 estimates. Harvested acres were assumed using USDA’s August 12 estimates.

KC Sheperd visits with Dakota Moss of Livestock Risk Services. When the pandemic hit in 2020 the cattle markets along with the rest of the world suffered. Many farmers and ranchers altered their marketing plans on crops and livestock to try and prevent a loss in the down Covid markets. This led to cattle being held months longer than planned hoping for a better market. Unfortunately for many farmers and ranchers they had no choice but to sell much heavier cattle into a down market. Resulting in a lower $/cwt price and profits lost. Sheperd and Moss discuss some alternative options for producers with the Livestock Risk Protection program.
