USDA's weekly Crop Progress report showed U.S. corn condition ratings rising 3 points to 72% good to excellent for the week ending July 26, above analysts' expectations of 69% to 71%. Silking reached 82% complete, 7 points ahead of the five-year average.
Farmers reported heat stress and wind concerns, and soil moisture remained low in parts of the Plains and Minnesota.
Strong crop ratings point to a larger supply outlook, which adds pressure to corn prices. Dry pockets and heat during pollination are the main risk that could limit yield potential.
