Kankakee County, Illinois, farmers reported a mostly average 2026 harvest, but some fields suffered severe corn yield losses. One farmer harvested just over 60 bushels per acre, which he attributed to rain-delayed spring planting and intense late-summer heat during pollination; typical county yields exceed 200 bushels per acre.
Poor yields in affected fields reduce local corn supply and could support prices, although the mostly average county harvest limits the broader market impact.
