Farm Journal reports that 2023 drought-year corn results were supported by drought-tolerant genetics and moisture-retention practices. A Minnesota grower won a contest with a 314.93 bushel yield on only 7 inches of rain.

After 445 past neutral weather events, Corn moved a median +0.1% over 5 sessions (52% higher; middle half -1.4% to +1.6%), and +0.7% over 20.
