# USDA Pegs Corn Yield at 167 Bushels Per Acre

> USDA's November WASDE projected the 2019 U.S. corn crop at 13.67 billion bushels with a national average yield of 167 bushels per acre, down 1.4 bushels from October. Soybean production was 3.55 billion bushels on an unchanged 46.9 bpa yield. The report's new U.S. corn ending stocks were bearish.

## Why it matters

A smaller crop was offset by lower-than-needed demand, so U.S. corn ending stocks stayed heavy and the bearish balance sheet weighs on feed corn prices. Soybean figures were close to expectations and only slightly bearish.
