Wisconsin corn crop to fall 3.7 percent from last month
Wisconsin’s agriculture department estimates this fall’s corn harvest at 362,250,000 bushels as of Sept 1, down from 372.6 million predicted last month. Nationally the USDA projects 8.32 billion bushels, unchanged from August and about 1 percent above last year. Low prices persist due to large prior-year harvests, sluggish demand, and high interest rates.
