Released for free to the public on the first Tuesday of each month during the growing season, and available to clients through daily updates, our Yield Forecasts allow users to get insights to guide their business decisions ahead of the USDA’s WASDE report.

We just announced our October cmdty Yield Forecast for end of season yield at 178.2 bu/ac for corn and 50.5 bu/ac for soybeans in the U.S. This represents a decrease in expected yield for corn, relative to the September 2 report, which predicted end of season yield at 178.4 bu/ac. End of season yield for soybeans remains the same at 50.5 bu/ac.

In addition to releasing our Yield Forecasts for free on the first Tuesday of each month during the growing season, we now also release our Crop Production Forecasts, which were announced today at 15,119M bu for corn and 4,190M bu for soybeans in the U.S.
