US markets rallied on January 10 after the USDA projected lower US soybean and corn production following a dry end to the growing season. Corn rose 3.18%, soybeans 2.63%, and soyoil 6.59%, while wheat gained only slightly.
The corn yield was cut 3.8 bpa from November to 179.3 bpa.
Lower projected US corn and soybean supplies tighten old-crop balances and support feed grain prices, raising input costs for feed buyers.
