# Corn forecast swings leave January uncertain, not necessarily bullish

> USDA cut its national corn yield forecast to 179.6 bushels per acre on November 10, down 1.6 bushels from October. Production is projected at 15.9 billion bushels, down 1% from the prior forecast and 6% from 2025, and could still be the second-largest crop on record. The next NASS yield estimate is scheduled for January 12, 2027.

## Why it matters

A lower yield forecast tightens the corn balance sheet, but the crop remains large, so the price effect is moderate. Historical revisions give no clear signal of a further January cut, leaving the market direction uncertain.
