USDA ESTIMATES

Here are the estimates.

Despite the large range, 17 of the 19 analysts have us between 179-181 for corn yield.

Despite the average guess being a lower corn yield, if you remove the one analyst who has 173, the average trade guess moves +0.5 bpa higher. So instead of 180.3 it goes to 180.8 vs last month’s 181.2.

Most analysts have us in that 179-181 range.

With StoneX being 183 and one analyst being 173.
