# Feedback From The Field-Sept. 3, 2019 - ProAg

> ProAg's weekly grower survey shows average corn yields of 163.6 bushels and soybean yields of 43.7 bushels, both several bushels below USDA's August estimates. Growers cite drought in parts of Illinois, excess moisture in Minnesota, cold in South Dakota, and disease problems. Crop ratings improved slightly and yield estimates were nudged up.

## Why it matters

Field yields running below USDA forecasts point to a smaller crop than the government expects, which supports corn and soybean prices. Feed buyers may face firmer grain costs if the gap holds.
