# Few surprises in last WASDE of 2018 | 2018-12-11 | Agri-Pulse | Agri-Pulse Communications, Inc.

> The December WASDE left US corn and soybean production unchanged from November, at 14.626 billion and 4.6 billion bushels. The report cut corn used for ethanol by 50 million bushels and kept soybean exports at 1.9 billion bushels despite the US-China trade dispute.

## Why it matters

With most US balance sheet numbers unchanged, the report offers little new price direction for feed grains or soybean meal. The ethanol cut is a minor demand signal.
