USDA projects Argentine corn plantings falling about 50,000 hectares to 6.75 million, the first decline in nine years, as farmers switch to soybeans. Soybean plantings are forecast to rise 650,000 hectares to 17 million, the highest in six years.
Smaller corn area in Argentina tightens the export outlook for corn, while the switch to soybeans adds to oilseed supply.
