Iowa Agribusiness Radio reports that USDA's August WASDE put corn ending stocks at 2.18 billion bushels, versus about 1.6 billion expected by the trade. Soybean yield was unchanged and ending stocks were near July levels, while corn, soybeans, meal and wheat all fell sharply after the report.
Corn ending stocks far above trade expectations signal a heavy US feed grain supply, pushing corn and meal prices lower for feed buyers.
