Corn, soybean and spring wheat CCI ratings improve
When USDA’s weekly condition ratings are plugged into the weighted Pro Farmer Crop Condition Index (CCI; 0 to 500-point scale, with 500 representing perfect), the corn crop improved 1.1 points to 365.2, though that was still 3.6 points below the five-year average for the second week of July. The soybean crop improved 1.5 points to 356.4, which was a modest 0.8 point above average.
The spring wheat crop improved 7.2 points to 375.8, which was 42.0 points above the five-year average for the date. The spring wheat crop is behind in development, but after a slow start, it’s rated relatively strong.
