USDA Calls a Record Crop after 7 of 11 Midwest Corn States Yield Forecast by Brock Beadle
Seven of the eleven large Mid-west corn producing states are forecasting record corn yields after yesterday’s USDA’s report, catch-ing many traders off-guard. Among many, but particularly the state of Illinois, updated report data showed the state is expected to see a record large yield of 214 bushels per acre, 13 bpa higher than their previous record.
According to data from FC Stone, their crop is maturing 27% ahead of average for this same week. Their data also shows South Dakota with a new record yield, and 19% ahead of average maturity. Strangely, during the second week in May South Da-kota was 46% behind average plant-ing pace, leaving many questioning the record ear weights published by the USDA.
The USDA has released the meth-ods used to determine how the pay-ments were calculated for the trade relief program. The agency used standard market facilitation models to estimate the impacts of the trade tariffs. The models simulated the ex-pected reduction in US exports due to the tariffs. Their report states that if necessary, in December, a second payment could be issued using the same approach with the market fa-cilitation models.
U.S. and China are planning to meet for another round of trade talks. It’s stated that the talks are going to be held with higher-level officials compared to the attendees in the August meeting. A more op-timistic tone is surrounding these meetings. Stock markets have ral-lied as of recent with hopes that the US-SINO will make progress in the days ahead.
China continues to try and source their soybean needs from other sources than the US. According to
data from Advance Trading Inc, it was reported that last week, China purchased 10-12 cargoes of October/November soybeans from Brazil, 4 cargoes from Argentina, and 3 from Canada. It has also been reported that China is currently working on a deal to import more soybean meal from India. They are said to be meet-ing with officials September 19th to see if they can get an agreement in place.
Canada also appears to be ready to offer the U.S. limited access to Canada’s dairy markets in an attempt to secure a NAFTA agreement. Ener-gy markets are weaker as Hurricane Florence has been downgraded to a category 1 with landfall either ex-pected late today or early tomorrow on the coast of the Carolina’s.
Due to technical difficulties the weekly crop progress and condition rating report was released a day later instead of Monday. Despite trades expectations and seasonal tenden-cies, corn and soybean condition rat-ings both increased in the release and both stand at 68% good to excellent. The maturity of both the corn and soybean crops remain well above last years crops and the average for this date. This week’s report also showed the first harvest progress for corn at 5% that is above the average for this date of 3% but equal to last year’s pace.
Corn and soybeans struggled all week with very little fresh news after the USDA released their surprisingly big yield numbers on corn and soy-beans yesterday. The USDA reported a private export sale of 142,876 MT of 18/19 corn to Costa Rica this morning. 108,010 MT of soybeans were sold to Mexico for 18/19 and other sales of 40,000 MT for 18/19 and 80,000 MT for 19/20 were sold to an unknown destination.
Meteorologists have predicted that Hurricane Florence to continue its storm surge throughout the week-end and into next week. It is estimat-ed that there are 870,000 corn acres in North Carolina and 310,000 corn acres in South Carolina, representing roughly 150 million bushels of corn. While not a large amount, trade will be monitoring the situation as US corn demand remains solid and fur-ther reductions to carryout could warrant fund buying. There are also an estimated 100 million bushels of soybeans grown in that region, ample soybean stocks have traders less con-cerned about damage to the crop.
Brazilian farmers are seeking sup-port to develop a futures contract to ease deals between Brazil & the top importer of beans China. Many bankers, growers, analyst & econo-mists are saying this would make sense to establish a contract to hedge growing risks due to the price differ-ences between US soybeans & Bra-zil’s soybeans. A new contract would provide an alternative to the CBOT that dominates the global market of soybean pricing.
