Jul25 corn dropped nearly 15¢ to $4.54. Traders are eyeing next week’s USDA numbers and watching Brazil’s second crop flourish. 🇺🇸🌤️🇧🇷🚜 US Planting Progress 🌱Corn planting is 40% complete—slightly behind trade guesses but still ahead of average. Soybeans are at 30%, also ahead of normal pace. Drier weather this week should accelerate progress across the Corn Belt. 🌽🌿🌾 Wheat Ratings & Progress 📈Winter wheat condition improved to 51% good-excellent, beating expectations. Spring wheat planting also moved forward at 44% complete. Russia's new crop wheat offers are pressuring global markets as frost fears fade. 🇷🇺💧🥩 Tyson Foods Tumbles 📉🐄Tyson shares sank despite a strong Q2 report, as beef sector losses mount. The US cowherd is at its smallest since 1961, driving cattle costs sky-high. Ranchers may finally be turning the corner on herd rebuilding. 💸📉🚢 Export Update 🚢US corn inspections dipped to 1.6mmt but remain solid YoY. Soybean and wheat inspections missed expectations, with both down sharply from last week. 📊🌍👍 Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more grain market updates!
