# Crops Analysis | February 26, 2025 - Pro Farmer

> May corn closed down 1 1/4 cents at $4.93, near a one-month low, after a fourth day of losses amid risk-off sentiment. Brazil's safrinha planting delays in Mato Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul could leave 20-25% of the crop outside its optimal window, and ethanol stocks rose to near-record levels.

## Why it matters

Late Brazilian safrinha planting threatens yields and could support corn later, while record-high ethanol stocks signal weaker domestic corn demand for industrial use.
