# WASDE ending stocks estimates positive for corn and soybeans | An official publication of Michigan Farm Bureau

> USDA's April WASDE gave corn and soybean markets lower-than-expected U.S. ending stocks, with corn below pre-report estimates and soybean stocks falling against forecasts of an increase. Corn exports were raised 100 million bushels on the pace of sales and competitive U.S. prices, while feed and residual use was trimmed 25 million bushels. Nearby corn closed up 9 cents and soybeans up 16.25 cents.
