| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| CORN | 2019-03-15 | 1 | +3.3% | 3.8 | The mid-March 2019 bomb cyclone and Missouri River flooding destroyed on-farm stored grain and raised fears of delayed US planting, a supply shock that plausibly lifted corn futures on the same day. |
| CORN | 2019-03-15 | 1 | +2.0% | 3.5 | The mid-March 2019 bomb cyclone and Missouri River flooding destroyed on-farm stored grain and raised fears of delayed US planting, a supply shock that plausibly lifted corn futures on the same day. |
| CORN | 2019-03-18 | 1 | +2.2% | 5.2 | Mid-March 2019 Midwest flooding from the bomb cyclone destroyed stored grain and raised concerns about delayed planting and reduced US corn supply, plausibly driving the 2.2% rally on the next trading session, though the event's 'record prevented planting' outcome emerged later so the date match is partial. |
