Cedar Rapids Mill

Market Commentary 10/2/2026     

Dec and Mar corn futures both finish the day red as follows: Dec down 4 ½ cents, bringing it to $4.97 ¾ and March down 5 ¼ cents to $5.11 ½. This month, being historically wet, brings watch to a potential additional yield cut beyond the 4.5 bushels per acre that the USDA has already cut. Argentina planting is reported to have reached 22%, consistent with this time last year. Soybeans also finished Friday's session red. Nov beans being down 5 ¾ cents, and Jan down 6 ¼ cents. Soybean yield estimates in the marketplace are ranging from 51-55 bu per acre. The two week radar shows to be mostly dry in the Midwest, a welcomed forecast for harvest. Wheat ended the day with Dec KC wheat falling 2 ¼ cents, and Chicago and MPLS being mixed. Have a great weekend and a safe harvest! 

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