Reuters reports that a record US corn harvest has left many farmers financially strained, after they planted more corn expecting strong exports to Mexico and Canada, ethanol output and livestock feed demand to hold prices up. Iowa estimates break-even near $4.58 per bushel.

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.
