Iowa corn prices face downward pressure as harvesting nears
Iowa extension economist Bob Wisner warns prices could slip this fall if prospects worsen from mid August. He notes U.S. and Iowa production forecasts rise, but storage and drying capacity may constrain marketing. The 1.61 billion bushel Iowa grain supply is expected this fall with a 4.4 billion bushel national crop projection and potential price pressures from weaker exports and larger crops.
