Corn market outlook and farm outlook letter summary
The weekly review notes corn prices midrange after a fall harvest, with the 1949 crop forecast at 3.357 billion bushels down 175 million from earlier estimates. A western Corn Belt windstorm hurt yields, reducing supply. Favorable factors for a 1949 price rise include lower harvest prices, improving employment and production trends, more hogs and poultry feeding on corn, and less corn to sell, while large government stocks and export sales loom as overhangs. Weather and growing conditions from May onward will influence prices.
