Corn farmers brace for cool spring yet expect record US crop
The USDA reports 14 billion bushels of corn expected this year, down from last month but near the 2009 record. Yield is projected at 156.5 bushels per acre, with 97.3 million acres planted and 89.5 million to be harvested. Progress slowed by late May rains, especially in Iowa and northern states, while Illinois reports strong stands.
