On Tuesday, USDA dropped a massive yield estimate for corn at 188.8 bushels per acre for this growing season. That number, along with the 2025/26 corn production forecasted at a record 16.7 billion bushels, would be 1.4 billion bushels more than the prior record set in 2023/24. Meanwhile, USDA also forecasted a slightly higher soybean yield at 53.6 bushels per acre on the August WASDE Report. What do all of these numbers mean for the markets and how did the trade react on Tuesday?
