# A new AccuWeather analysis predicts a significant dropoff in 2019 crop yields

> AccuWeather analysis projects US 2019 corn production at 13.6 billion bushels, about 9% below the USDA's 14.96 billion estimate. It also forecasts soybeans at 4.0 billion bushels, roughly 4% under USDA's first estimate, citing continued flooding and wet weather in the Corn Belt.

## Why it matters

A private forecast well below USDA's numbers signals tighter US corn and soybean supplies, which supports feed grain and soymeal prices and raises feed costs for buyers.
