# Newton: U.S. corn yield could end up below trend | Profitability | farmweeknow.com

> AFBF market intelligence director John Newton says US corn yield could finish 5-6% below the trend of about 166 bu/acre, with many in the trade discussing a national yield near 165. He expects prices to stay range-bound until USDA's August 10 crop production report. Planting problems and summer weather are cited as causes.

## Why it matters

A yield near 165 bu/acre would tighten US corn supply and could lift feed prices, but the outcome depends on the August USDA report.
