Mixed weather across the Corn Belt is affecting the corn and soybean fill period, with excess rain and flooding in Illinois, Indiana and Ohio and dryness in the northern Midwest. Extreme heat persists in the Southern Plains, and dryness is affecting the Black Sea region.
Uneven moisture and heat during grain fill create yield risk for corn and soybeans, which supports prices. The Black Sea dryness could also tighten wheat supplies.
