USDA’s weekly Crop Progress and Condition report showed condition ratings remain stable in corn but declined slightly in soybeans at the national level.
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. corn and soybean 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 national level ratings were unchanged from week-ago levels. The Crop Condition Index saw a 1.6 point decline, mostly attributed to minor deteriorations in the Dakotas and lower Midwest from hot and dry weather that is not unusual for the time of year.

Soybeans
USDA’s soybean ratings show the crop rated as 13% very poor to poor, 29% fair, and 58% good to excellent. The good to excellent categories declined 2% from last week, marking the fourth consecutive weekly decline. The changes saw the CCI drop 1.44 points to 357.55. Minnesota saw the largest change of any state this week, down 0.99 point, but small improvements in a combination of other states limited the decline.
