# Average Corn, Soybean Crops Could Be the 2021 Story, Analyst Says

> Analyst Ray Grabanski describes 2021 as a tale of two crops: the southeast US has cool, wet weather favorable for corn and soybeans, while the northwest faces hot, dry conditions that are becoming a crop disaster. Forecasts show the dry area in the northern Corn Belt now covers about half the US, and the drought is expected to worsen there.

## Why it matters

The split weather pattern means national yield prospects depend on the northern Corn Belt, where dryness can offset good eastern conditions, leaving the price outlook uncertain.
