BALANCE SHEET CHANGES

(Red highlights a bearish change. Green is a bullish change. Yellow is no change)

New Crop Corn 🌽

Lots of changes happened.

They dropped yield, but at the same time they increased acres.

This actually led to our net production seeing a very slight increase of +13 million. As the acres more than offset the loss in yield.

They then raised old crop exports by +75 million. Which led to our beginning stocks falling by -75 million.

At the same time they raised our new crop exports by +75 million.

Which led to a loss of -150 million to the carryout.

If you take the -150 million loss plus the increase of +13 million from production, our total carryout change was -137 million.

Resulting in our stocks to use dropping from 11% to nearly 10%.

New Crop Beans 🌱

The increase in acres more than offset the loss in yield.

Resulting in our total supply to increase by +39 million.

However they bumped crush demand by +30 million.

So our net carryout increased by +10 million.
