Market Commentary 9/11/2026     

December corn fell 3½¢ to $5.3025 and November soybeans dropped 35¾¢ to $12.9650. The lowered corn yield 2.2 bushels to 178.5 bushels per acre and cut production 213 million bushels to 15.8 billion, but those reductions were largely anticipated, while a 150-million-bushel cut to feed use left projected carryout at 1.567 billion bushels—above trade expectations. Soybeans absorbed the larger surprise as USDA raised yield to 52.8 bushels per acre and production to 4.535 billion bushels, leaving 310 million bushels of carryout despite a higher export forecast. Demand remained encouraging: weekly new-crop sales totaled 75.9 million bushels of corn and 96.9 million bushels of soybeans, including substantial Chinese business, while Mexico bought another 10.4 million bushels of corn today. October crude fell $2.275 per barrel and December soybean oil plunged 2.24¢ to 69.68¢ per pound, making energy and vegetable-oil weakness a meaningful secondary drag on soybeans. Holiday-delayed ethanol data were mildly negative for corn, with production easing to 1.099 million barrels per day while inventories increased. Have a great weekend! 

We can only take hopper bottom trailers for corn. Make sure hoppers are fully closed before driving off the dump.
