Wisconsin harvest results are mixed: exceptional drought in the northwest has reduced yields and pasture conditions, while many northeastern fields have produced well. Some northern Door County growers report corn yields falling from about 180 to 80 bushels per acre and soybean yields from 50 to 20, while corn moisture levels elsewhere are low enough to reduce drying costs.
Drought-related yield losses can tighten local corn and soybean supplies and support prices, while stronger output elsewhere offsets some of that effect. Lower grain moisture also reduces drying costs for farmers.
After 1,079 past bullish weather events, Soybeans moved a median +0.3% over 5 sessions (54% higher; middle half -1.4% to +2.0%), and +0.9% over 20.
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.
