Wetter-than-expected fall weather has slowed the US Corn Belt harvest, with Iowa particularly affected. An Iowa State Extension agronomist says September rainfall delayed harvest starts and raises concerns about grain quality and lodging.
Harvest delays and possible quality losses could tighten near-term deliverable corn supplies and support local cash bids, though a good forecast may limit the impact.
After 1,465 past bullish weather events, CORN moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (54% higher; middle half -1.4% to +1.9%), and +0.9% over 20.
