The USDA gave trade the numbers they were looking for in corn yield but sent shockwaves through the market on the soybean side, printing a record yield and production numbers for the 2022 crop.  Soybeans flipped from 13 higher to 20 lower almost instantaneously at the 11 a.m. report time and corn retreated about 13 cents.  Trade had recovered to pre-report levels, and higher, by the closing bell to finish the week strong.  Weather was likely responsible for getting us to bounce back as the 6-10 and 8-14 trend drier.
