🇺🇸U.S. corn, soybean and wheat ending stocks in 2026/27 are all set to decline from the prior year. Wheat stocks came in well below expectations because of a shockingly small winter wheat crop.

2/2 The #soybean crop in 2026/27 is projected at 4.435 billion bushels, up 173 million from last year’s crop, reflecting trend #yield and higher harvested area. Along with higher beginning stocks, supplies are 188 million bushels above the 2025/26 marketing year.

2/2 The #corn crop is projected at 16 billion bushels, down 6% from a year ago on declines to both area and yield. Planted area of 95.3 million acres, if realized, would be down 3.5 million. The yield projection is 183.
