USDA rated the corn crop as 66% “good” to “excellent” and 10% “poor” to “very poor,” the soybean crop 61% “good” to “excellent” and 12% “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 1.7 points to 370.3. The soybean crop decreased 1.2 points to 357.8. Late-season stressors and drought were the factors attributing to condition declines.
