# Crops Analysis | Grains, soy close lower amid risk-aversion - Pro Farmer

> July corn fell 9.5 cents to a new contract low of $4.19 1/4 amid broad risk-off sentiment after a US military strike on Iranian nuclear facilities. Midwest heat raised crop stress in dry areas, with rain forecast for the driest states. Brazil's center-south safrinha harvest was 13% complete, behind last year's pace.
