Record corn and soybean plantings ease early 2009 fears
USDA data show 87 million acres of corn and 77.5 million acres of soybeans planted through June, both above last year and near multi decade highs. The larger crop could ease tight supplies and lower expected prices, aiding ethanol and meat sectors amid rising costs. Market trade reflected the shift as corn futures slid while soybeans rose. Stored corn on farms and bins reached about 4.27 billion bushels, surpassing analyst expectations.
