# FOB Corn Price Watch

> DTN reports FOB corn prices rose in Brazil and New Orleans in early March, with Brazil's closing price at $4.55 per bushel, its highest in 11 months. The gains followed drought in Argentina, with 76% of its corn in poor-to-very-poor condition, and flooding that disrupted barge loading on the Illinois and Ohio rivers.
