# How record heat could affect the U.S. corn and soybean markets - DTN

> DTN reviews how record heat and dryness could affect the US corn and soybean markets. Corn is rated 65% good to excellent, and a crop of no more than 15 billion bushels looks likely. Analysts say China's strong domestic corn prices and Brazil's lower output could again lift export demand.

## Why it matters
