USDA data show US corn stocks on March 1, 2026 at 9.024 billion bushels, a record that surpasses the 2017/18 peak. Record second-quarter disappearance and forecast record exports of 3.3 billion bushels were also reported, and sorghum stocks rose 15% year over year to 170 million bushels.
Record corn and sorghum stocks add to ample feed grain supply, which weighs on feed grain prices despite strong demand.
After 1,102 past bearish report events, Corn moved a median -0.2% over 5 sessions (47% higher; middle half -1.8% to +1.3%), and +0.0% over 20.
