USDA Crop Numbers Lower Than Expected
Fri, 08 Oct 2010 8:23:16 CDT
There were a few surprises in this morning's Crop Production numbers from the USDA. Corn and soybean production came in lower than expected with the corn crop pegged at 12.664 billion with a yield of 155.8 bushels per acre and the soybean crop at 3.408 billion with a yield of 44.4 bushels per acre. The ending stock numbers were also much smaller than the trade was looking for in the wheat, corn and soybeans. Corn supply now is the tightest in fifteen years. All the USDA numbers look very BULLISH for trading in the markets today.
Cliick here for the October first Crop Productionf numbers as released by USDA this Friday morning.
