The USDA's long-term baseline projections, released November 7, forecast US planted area for the eight major field crops falling to 248.5 million acres in 2024-25.

Projected record US corn and soybean output points to ample supply and softer prices over the coming decade. Feed buyers can expect a long-run bearish tilt for feed grains and soybean meal.
