> Analysts are struggling to pin down US corn planted acreage after wet spring weather caused prevented planting in key states. Private estimates range from 86 to 89 million acres, compared with USDA's June figure of 91.7 million. USDA will release an updated acreage estimate on August 12, and NASS has dropped its August field survey for yields.
