Crop Reports Show Mixed U.S. Wheat and Corn Conditions
Review of crop reports notes no material change in corn condition across states after recent raids. Low lying and late planted fields show some improvement but not enough to alter the general above average yield. Winter and spring wheat show varied state-by-state yields with several counties reporting specific bushel figures. Pastures recover from recent rains, fine feed supplies return, cattle conditions improve in western regions, and overall crop outlook remains unsettled amid inconsistent regional data.
