# USDA lowers U.S. corn, soybean ending stocks - Brownfield Ag News

> USDA's February report lowered U.S. corn and soybean ending stocks, with corn reduced by a lower 2018 crop and smaller ethanol use. Soybean ending stocks fell on a smaller crop and weaker export demand, while wheat ending stocks rose to 1.010 billion bushels. USDA also lowered Argentine and Brazilian soybean production and China's import estimate.
