When USDA’s weekly crop condition ratings are plugged into the weighted Pro Farmer Crop Condition Index (0 to 500-point scale, with 500 being perfect), the HRW crop slipped 0.1 point to 345.3 while the SRW crop improved 2.3 points to 373.8. CCI ratings are far above year-ago for HRW and slightly better for the SRW crop.
