Initial Estimates for US Crop Production and Yield Forecasts Have Just Been Released!

Get ready! It's that exciting time of the year when we unveil our much-anticipated 2023 Crop Production and Yield Estimates! Brace yourselves for the latest scoop on what's happening in the world of corn and soybean production!  In a riveting twist, our initial forecasts reveal a slight decline in corn and soybean levels compared to the estimations by the USDA. 

The initial forecasts see end-of-season U.S. corn production at 15B bu with a yield of 177.9 bu/ac. This compares to the USDA’s 15.3B bu of production and 181.5 bu/ac yield.  

The initial forecasts see end-of-season U.S. soybean production at 4.4B bu with a yield of 50.6 bu/ac.  This compares to the USDA’s 4.5B bu of production and 52 bu/ac yield.  

Now, let's rewind a bit to last year. Oh, what a rollercoaster ride it was! Unfavorable weather conditions in the Corn Belt played the villain, dampening our hopes for robust production. But this year brings a fresh wave of optimism. The stage is set for a turnaround, fueled by the stellar planting progress and the anticipated arrival of the El Niño weather system, indicating a more promising outlook for crop production in 2023.
