US farmers sold stored corn, soybeans and wheat rapidly after prices climbed following the start of the Iran war. Growers also pre-sold unplanted 2026 crops, locking in modest profits to cover higher fertilizer, chemical and seed costs.
Heavy farmer selling adds near-term supply to the market and can cap rallies, while the war-driven price rise also reflects higher input costs.
