Corn CCI rating slips, soybeans start above average
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 dropped 2.8 points to 379.7, though that was still 5.8 points above the five-year average. The soybean crop started the growing season with a 370.9 CCI rating, 12.9 points above last year at this time and 3.2 points above the five-year average.
USDA’s initial spring wheat crop ratings equated to a CCI reading of 353.4, which was well above last year’s drought impacted crop but 2.8 points below the five-year average.
