USDA reported 205,000 MT of corn sold during the reporting period to unknown destinations this morning. 

The ProFarmer Crop Tour showed Iowa corn yields averaging 193.98 bushels per acre down 2.24% from the last year but 1.38% above the 3 year average. Yield in Minnesota was pegged at 199.01 bpa, down 1.9% from a year ago, but 3.09% above the three year average. 

USDA Export Sales data from Thursday now has old crop corn commitments at 87.74 MMT, which is 24% above last year. That is also 102% of the USDA projection and matching the pace from last year. Accumulated sales for new crop are now at 11.391 MMT, which lags last year by 21.7%. That is still the 4th largest forward book since 2000.
