A Southwest Economic Outlook article reviews the 2022 feed grain outlook after a record 2021 national corn yield of 177 bushels per acre and tight corn stocks. USDA projections for 2022/23 call for a 100-million-bushel rise in domestic use and a 100-million-bushel fall in exports.
Prices in 2021 were the highest since 2012 and 2013.
Projected higher domestic use and lower exports point to a modest tightening of the feed grain balance. Ending stocks of 36.7 days remain relatively tight, which supports feed grain prices if supplies do not rebuild.
