Not too much excitement in this month's WASDE report but a surprising finish on the board given the fresh information.  The USDA maybe gave us the first sign of demand destruction in corn (high prices cure high prices) with a 50 million bushel cut to this year's corn export estimate.  Results overall were a net increase of 45 million bushels to this year's ending stocks.  Soybean exports were increased 30 million bushels which was also the net change in this year's ending stocks.  This was slightly friendly compared to the pre-report trade estimates.  The doom and gloom over the soybean crop in South America is all but over, the USDA added approximately 80 million bushels to their S.A. production estimates for this year.

It was USDA report day today and it turned out to be a yawner.  The markets never really reacted to the report, and the grains finished the day about where they started with corn unchanged and beans up 12 on the day.  US corn carryout was pegged at 2.127 billion bushels vs the average trade guess of 2.227 billion.  World corn carryout was placed at 288.98 MMT vs the average trade guess of 290.48 MMT.

Well, the USDA report had a bit of a surprise today and not in a good way.  Not only did they increase the 2025 corn yield, from 186.0 to 186.5, they also increased Harvest Acres from 90 million to 91.3 million.  That raised the total corn production to 17.021 billion, up an additional 269 million bushels from their previous estimate.  U.S. Ending Stocks are now estimated at 2.227 bbu, vs. 2.209 in Dec.  Report trade guesses were at 1.97 bbu.
