Wisconsin agricultural exports exceeded $2 billion in the first half of 2026, up 5% from the same period in 2025. Sales to China fell 45%, while corn and soybean sales to Mexico rose 135% and 125%, respectively.
Stronger Mexican buying supports demand for US corn and soybeans, partly offsetting weaker Chinese demand. The reported increase in overall exports is supportive for those commodities, though the figures cover one state and half a year.
After 729 past bullish trade events, Corn moved a median +0.4% over 5 sessions (56% higher; middle half -1.1% to +1.8%), and +0.5% over 20.
After 696 past bullish trade events, Soybeans moved a median +0.3% over 5 sessions (54% higher; middle half -1.3% to +1.9%), and +0.7% over 20.
