USDA's September crop report projected record corn and soybean yields nationally and in Illinois and Indiana, based on September 1 conditions. Illinois corn was lowered 3 bushels to 222 bushels per acre, while Indiana corn was raised to 210 and Indiana soybeans to a record 63 bushels.
Record yield projections from USDA point to larger supplies of corn and soybeans, which typically pressures feed grain and meal prices.
