NASHVILLE, Tenn. (RFD-TV) — There is a whole lot of corn on hand right now, and the markets are eager to see the next World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimate (WASDE). The upcoming U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) report will provide an update on yield data, which the latest reportdid not address.
Economist Naomi Blohm said traders hope for a downward revision, which would be good news for growers.
“If this corn yield number in the United States goes down in January, if there’s this weather issue in South America this winter, and if the USDA brings that yield number down, we’ve got reasons for corn futures to be able to really easily climb over $4.50,” Blohm explained. “And maybe head up towards the $5 area, which would be very welcomed for so many producers.”
Despite ample corn supplies on hand, Blohm said domestic demand has been strong, especially for ethanol. She estimated that one-third of U.S. corn supplies go to that sector, totaling about 5.5 billion bushels.
The National Milk Producers Federation (NMPF) says recent wins in markets like Malaysia and Cambodia help farmers focus on production rather than trade barriers.
