USDA rated the corn crop as 72% “good” to “excellent” and 7% “poor” to “very poor,” the soybean crop 68% “good” to “excellent” and 7% “poor” to “very poor” and the spring wheat crop 49% “good” to “excellent” and 18% “poor” to “very poor.”
On the weighted Pro Farmer Crop Condition Index (CCI; 0 to 500-point scale, with 500 representing perfect), the corn crop declined 2 points to 382.8. The soybean crop declined 1.3 points to 368.7. The spring wheat rating increased 3 points from the previous week and now stands at 347.3.
Despite the slight decline, corn and soybean conditions remain strong for this time of year. Late summer typically sees crop stressors ramp up and cause conditions to deteriorate, but large declines in condition have not come yet this season.
