USDA’s Oct. 9 reports pressured corn and soybeans as corn yield rose 2.7 bu/ac to 181.2, versus 177.7 expected, lifting 2026 production from 15.800 to 16.034 bil. bu., up 234 mil. Separately, Sept. 1 measured stocks raised corn carry-in from 1.922 to 2.095 bil. bu., up 173 mil. Despite projected use rising 125 mil. to 16.305 bil. bu., 2026/27 carryout increased from 1.567 to 1.849 bil. bu., up 282 mil., versus 1.670 bil. expected. Soybean yield rose 0.3 bu/ac to 53.1, lifting production from 4.535 to 4.562 bil. bu., up 27 mil.; lower carry-in and higher projected use limited carryout’s increase to 5 mil. bu., from 310 to 315 mil.

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