Strategy Grains cut its EU harvest estimates after a heat wave during the grain-filling phase, lowering its EU wheat forecast by 1 million tonnes to 140.7 million. The EU corn estimate was reduced by 1.2 million tonnes to 58.8 million, with damage concentrated in Spain and France.
Smaller EU wheat and corn crops tighten exportable supplies and support European and world feed grain prices. Heat damage during pollination and grain fill keeps a weather premium on EU-linked grain values.
