Corn production expected to near record after critical Midwest rains

ZISK

Dive Brief:

Corn production is on track to increase 10% from last year after unseasonably cool temperatures alleviated acreage conditions last month, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s August Crop Production report.


“We’re looking at the second-highest production on record,” Lance Honig, crops branch chief for USDA’s National Agricultural Statistics Service, said in a briefing on Friday. Production is expected to reach 15.1 billion bushels this year, while yields are estimated to grow 1.8% to an average of 175.1 bushels per harvested acre.
