U.S. #corn yield comes in as expected, #soybeans fall below the range of trade guesses.

[Karen Braun @kannbwx]

U.S. #corn production comes in lower than expected but #soybeans higher, despite the decline in soy harvested acres following the resurvey of Dakotas/Minn. Soy yield is expected to tie 2016's record.

#illini coach Bret Bielema on Monday said the team added South Dakota transfer WR Kody Case to the roster this offseason.

The USDA reported corn, soybean, and wheat carryout numbers in line with trade expectations. Brazil's corn and soybean production was reduced, but came in just over the average trade guesses at 114 and 134 respectively.

Lot's of discussion yesterday on the surprisingly light U.S. acreage intentions. This is total 2021 acres versus March 2020 intentions (I posted these numbers versus 2020 final yesterday). Most states reported fewer planted acres for 2021 than they did for 2020.

USDA increased #Brazil's 19/20 #corn crop by 1 mmt and increased 20/21 (the one that isn't yet planted) by 3 mmt. They kept 19/20 #soybeans at 126 mmt, but increased 20/21 by 2 mmt and added 0.7 mmt to 18/19.

No changes in #Argentina.

I’m excited to announce that I am continuing my academic and athletic career at Knox College. Thank you @Coach_JClark for the opportunity.

Be careful in those bins, folks. I received word we had a young farmer with a few young children get engulfed and pass away today. This crop is going to cause problems well beyond fall. 😔

If you work in or around grain bins, save and share this video - funded by the National Grain and Feed Foundation - that illustrates the connection between grain quality and safety: https://t.co/lsLCns6y0q #safety #StandUp4GrainSafety

Forty-percent of the products we grow, produce or manufacture in Illinois go to Canada or Mexico. #USMCA will level the playing field for our producers and strengthen a vital trade relationship.

The one universal law of grain marketing:

You Can’t Have it All

Corollary 1:
No protection without cost or surrender of opportunity

Corollary 2:
No premium without risk or obligation

Corollary 3:
No waiting for opportunity without cost, risk, or both

Bottom line is, a trade deal might not boost U.S. exports as much as is expected, especially with ASF concerns & growing supplies in Brazil. USA wouldn't lose all the "other" buyers, but that biz would likely decline. Global (& #China) demand growth is key at the end of the day.

[Karen Braun @kannbwx]

And again, the quotas are something for which the U.S. side has been strongly pushing. #China has been asking that both sides remove tariffs, and it recently said it prefers to buy based on market conditions. Thus, the impending trade deal is at a standstill.

[Karen Braun @kannbwx]

My latest commentary: A trade deal w/ #China is of course ideal for U.S. ag, but promised purchase quotas are dangerous. For #soybeans, other buyers may turn more to #Brazil if prices there are cheaper - a likely outcome if BR loses share to China.
