Heat takes bite out of corn, soybean and spring wheat crop condition ratings
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 fell 6.2 points to 357.1, which is now 11.6 points below the five-year average. Much of the weekly decline was in Minnesota, Nebraska and Kansas. The soybean crop dropped 2.7 points to 350.7, which is 5.5 points below average.
The spring wheat crop fell 4.6 points to 372.5, though that is still 45.1 points above the five-year average for the date.
