Corn futures closed the Monday session with contracts 3 to 6 ¼ cents higher across most months. The CmdtyView national average Cash Corn price was up 6 1/4 cents at $4.36 1/4.

Monday’s Crop Progress report showed 76% of the US corn crop in the dough stage by August 16, with 29% dented and 4% listed as mature. Condition ratings were down 1% this week at 60% in good to excellent condition, as the Brugler500 index was down 3 points to 353.

This morning’s Export Inspections report showed corn shipments of 1.91 MMT (75.23 mbu) in the week of August 13. That was up 8.55% from the week prior and 81.71% larger than the same week last year.

The marketing year total is now 80.95 MMT (3.186 bbu) of corn exports, which is now 26.05% ahead of the same period last year with just over two weeks left in the marketing year.
