> USDA is scheduled to release its November Crop Production and WASDE reports on November 10. Ahead of the reports, corn futures have fallen for six straight weeks after USDA sharply increased projected 2026–27 corn supplies in its September and October updates; traders are focused on the next U.S. yield estimate.
