    USDA ERS: October Feed Outlook

> USDA's October Feed Outlook projects 2018/19 feed and residual use of the four feed grains and wheat at 151.5 million metric tons, 2.2 million above last month. US feed grain supplies rose 1.8 million tons as larger corn carry-in and higher sorghum output offset lower corn production, and the corn yield was cut 0.6 bushels per acre to 180.7.

## Why it matters

Higher projected feed use alongside a slightly smaller corn yield tightens the feed grain balance, a modestly supportive signal for corn and sorghum prices.
