> Farm Futures' weekly producer survey found crops had improved in recent weeks but yields remained well below USDA's September 12 projections. Yield reports varied widely, from near-zero corn in some Iowa fields to 225 bushels per acre in others. Eastern Midwest growers reported harvest problems from a wet spring that turned dry.
