# Corn, wheat stocks higher than trade expectations – AgriNews

> USDA's Sept. 30 quarterly stocks report showed corn stocks of 1.532 billion bushels, nearly 200 million above the average trade estimate, and wheat stocks above expectations. StoneX's Arlan Suderman said the surprise implies feed usage was overstated and USDA may cut feed-use estimates in future WASDE reports.
