# MARS lowered yield forecasts for wheat, corn and rapeseed for the EU

> In its June report, the EU's MARS crop monitoring service lowered yield forecasts for soft wheat, corn and rapeseed, citing excess rain in the Benelux, western Germany, northeastern France and northern Italy. The revised estimates still sit at or near the five-year average, while barley yield was raised slightly.

## Why it matters

Trimmed EU yield expectations tighten the export outlook for wheat and corn, though the crop is not far from normal, so the price impact is modest.
