Corn, soybean CCI ratings virtually unchanged

( )

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 and soybean crops were virtually unchanged over the past week. The corn CCI rating held at 363.8 points, while the soybean rating ticked down 0.1 point to 352.8 points. The corn crop is 7.5 points below the five-year average, with the soybean crop 7.6 points below average.  

The spring wheat CCI rating improved 2.9 points to 224.7 points, though that’s still 132.2 points (37.0%) below the five-year average.
