WASHINGTON, D.C. (RFD-TV) — With the shutdown delaying federal reports, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has rescheduled the November World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) to Friday, Nov. 14, at 11:00 a.m. ET — paired with NASS’s November Crop Production report. The agency said statistical publications were paused during the funding lapse and outlined the new date in an Agricultural Statistics Board notice.
Under the USDA’s regular calendar, the November WASDE would have been posted earlier in the month; the updated timing gives markets a single consolidated snapshot of yields and demand just as harvest wraps up and winter marketing plans are set.
Why It Matters on the Farm
The Nov. 14 bundle will refresh U.S. and world balance sheets for corn, soybeans, and wheat — key for basis, hedging, and end-of-year cash decisions — after the shutdown’s halt disrupted many federal data releases in October. Expect heightened attention to export pace, South American crop starts, and feed/residual tweaks as elevators and lenders recalibrate.
Farm-Level Takeaway: Circle Nov. 14 — the WASDE/Crop Production combo will be the first full post-shutdown read on supply, demand, and yield that could move basis and hedging plans.
