Excessive rainfall in parts of eastern Nebraska has damaged stalk quality in corn still awaiting harvest, with concerns about mold, toxins and lower test weights. Saturated soils and limited sunlight during grain fill contributed to rot and reduced grain quality in some areas.
Quality losses could reduce the amount of corn suitable for feed and tighten supplies of higher-quality grain, offering some price support. The reported problems are localized and are not described as widespread.
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.
