As of October 20, 75% of the French corn area had been harvested, well above the five-year average, with 60% of the crop rated good to excellent. Winter barley sowing reached 73% and winter wheat 57%.
Rapid harvest and stable crop condition signal adequate French corn supply, which is mildly bearish for feed corn prices.
