# USDA gives Arkansas corn, soybeans, peanuts yield downward revision, but still expects records

> USDA's National Agricultural Statistics Service cut Arkansas's November corn yield estimate by 3 bushels per acre to 190 and its soybean estimate by 3 bushels to 56. NASS reported lower pod counts than the previous year in six of 11 major soybean states. Local agronomists say the Arkansas soybean estimate looks optimistic.

## Why it matters

A state-level downward revision adds a small amount of supply tightness to corn and soybeans, though Arkansas is a minor part of national output. The national effect is limited, and the question of whether the soybean estimate is too high could lead to later revisions.
