# Record U.S. Grain Harvest Collides with Storage Crunch, Weak Soybean Demand, and Trade Uncertainty - AgriBusiness Global

> CoBank reports the US is heading into a record harvest of 21.5 billion bushels of corn, soybeans and grain sorghum amid uncertain US-China trade relations and weak soybean export demand. Upright storage is projected to be 1.4 billion bushels short across the top 12 corn-producing states, and merchandisers are charging higher storage fees. Corn and wheat exports are strong, while soybean and sorghum sales lag.
