Weekly new-crop corn inspections have kicked the marketing year off ahead of last year at this time by over 4%, while soybean inspections lagged by over 21% in week ended Sept. 7.
USDA’s Weekly Export Inspections data was within pre-report estimates, though corn and wheat inspections fell notably on the week, while soybean inspections rose slightly.
USDA reported net soybean sales of 364,900 MT for 2022-23, which topped the pre-report range by over 160,000 MT, while new-crop sales were just shy of the top-end pre-report range.
