> DTN's summer 2018 outlook calls for generally favorable conditions and at least trend-line yields for major crops, with northern, central and eastern areas most favorable and southern areas facing dryness. Analog years 1951, 1963, 2006 and 2009 are cited, two of which produced record US corn crops.

A favorable yield outlook for US corn and soybeans reduces the risk premium in new-crop prices. Dryness in the south is a localized risk that could limit the downside.
