USDA officials said a computer weighting issue caused an error in September corn yield estimates, mainly affecting Kansas and Nebraska. Correcting it raised the national estimate by 0.3 bushel per acre to 178.8; officials said the October forecast of a record 181.2 bushels per acre was validated and unaffected.
Clarifying the error may help restore confidence in USDA data, but the correction itself made only a small change to the national corn estimate. The October record forecast remains intact, keeping the supply outlook ample and potentially weighing on corn prices.
