Iowa Farm 8B Outlook on 1970 Corn Crop and Prices
The USDA pins 1970 US corn at 4,110 million bushels, about 10 percent below 1969 and ~400 million below expected market retirements. Prices at $1.33 per bushel in late December may rise slightly into late winter, then face uncertainty. Carryover could reach 625 million bushels, smallest since 1952, affecting 1971 supply if crops fall short. Acreage and yields in the US and abroad will shape spring and summer prices and potential blight issues.
