We’ve had a week to do additional analysis of the data from the more than 3,500 corn and soybean samples scouts gathered Aug. 21-24. Our page 4 feature takes a deep dive into the data gathered during this year’s Crop Tour. One of the unanswered questions we had following Crop Tour was how much damage was done to crops in the Corn Belt by the extreme temps. And then Hurricane Idalia ripped through the Southeast. We take a look at the potential impacts from both weather events. Another issue that could arise shortly is low water levels on the upper Midwest rivers, something that could drive up barge rates, back up supplies and pressure basis as harvest gets underway. Canada’s initial wheat crop estimate came in well below last year and lower than expected. That could impact U.S. wheat exports, especially for high-protein supplies. On the policy front, EPA and the Army Corps released the new WOTUS definition, which drew criticism from multiple sectors, suggesting legal and legislative battles over the jurisdiction of federal waters will likely continue. We cover all of this and much more in this week’s newsletter, which you can download here.
