USDA’s weekly Crop Progress and Condition report showed condition ratings deteriorate in corn, soybeans and wheat with corn seeing the sharpest declines. State-level breakdowns of the Pro Farmer Crop Condition Index, which compresses the USDA’s weekly crop progress report into a single, weighted, easy-to-track number that’s widely used to monitor the health and potential of U.S. crops during the growing season and more details around USDA ratings, are below:
Corn
USDA’s rating of the corn crop shows 17% as very poor to poor, 26% fair, and 57% good to excellent. The good to excellent categories were down 3% from the week prior, coming in below analyst estimates that expected the crop to decline just 1%. The Crop Condition Index saw a 2.52 point decline. Declines were largely driven by declines in states west of the Mississippi.

Soybeans
USDA’s soybean ratings show the crop rated as 12% very poor to poor, 28% fair, and 60% good to excellent. The good to excellent categories declined 1% from last week, marking the third consecutive weekly decline. The changes saw the CCI drop 2.96 points to 358.99. Condition declines were similar to those in corn, with most being centered in western growing regions. Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio did notch minor declines as well though.

Wheat
Spring wheat ratings came in at 14% very poor to poor, 35% fair, and 51% good to excellent. The good to excellent category fell 1% from the previous week. The CCI lost 3.86 points as deteriorations in the largest growing state of North Dakota outweighed steady to slightly higher scores elsewhere.
