Farm Futures' producer survey reports yield expectations ranging from excellent to very poor across the Corn Belt. Growers in Wisconsin and Illinois report strong crops, while Michigan, Missouri and eastern Iowa report dryness and heat stress, with Missouri corn described as a near-total loss by one farmer.
Parts of Missouri are in extreme drought.
Mixed yield reports and localized drought losses add modest support to corn and soybean prices, though broad crop ratings remain strong.
