# Delayed corn planting hits feeder cattle

> USDA reported that as of May 26, 58% of intended corn acres were planted versus a 90% five-year average, implying a sharp shortfall in planted area. July corn futures rose 46 cents to $4.36 per bushel on the week, and feeder cattle prices fell in response.

## Why it matters

Delayed planting signals smaller corn supplies and higher feed costs, which pressure feeder cattle values through the inverse corn-cattle relationship.
