# Feedback From The Field - Nov. 20, 2017

> Weekly grower reports showed corn averaging 172.6 bpa and soybeans 50.5 bpa, both below the USDA's Nov. 9 estimates of 175.4 and 45.9 bpa for corn and soybeans respectively. Yields varied widely, from 45 bpa corn in central Nebraska to 251 bpa in central Illinois. Wet, cold weather in the eastern Midwest slowed harvest.

## Why it matters

Lower-than-estimated corn yields reduce expected supply and can support feed grain prices, though the wide range and high total output limit the price impact. Soybean yields above USDA's estimate offset the corn signal.
