Corn, bean 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 5.3 points to 349.9, though that was still 13.4 points (3.7%) below year-ago. Condition improvements was noted in 11 of the top 18 corn production states. The soybean CCI rating rose 7.6 points to 339.3, though that was still 14.2 points (4.0%) below last year on this date. Of the top 18 soybean production states, 15 improved. The two highest producing corn and soybean states, Iowa and Illinois, led the crop ratings gains.
The spring wheat crop jumped 10.9 points on the CCI to 339.2, though that was still 37.8 points (10.0%) below last year at this time. Top producer North Dakota improved 10.1 points, while modest changes in the other five states were virtually offsetting.
