U.S. corn rating up 1%
U.S. corn and soybean condition rating saw slight changes over the past week and remain in great shape overall, but one key corn development phase is lagging.
83% of corn is at the dough making stage, compared to 67% this time last year and the five year average of 78%, and 35% has dented, well ahead of the 21% a year ago, but noticeably slower than the 43% on average. 73% of corn is in good to excellent condition, up 1% on the week.
90% of soybeans are at the pod setting stage, compared to 82% last year and 89% on average, with 70% in good to excellent shape, down 1% on the week.
27% of the spring wheat crop is harvested, compared to 39% a year ago and 49% on average, with 66% rated good to excellent, 2% less than last week.
48% of U.S. pastures and rangelands are called good to excellent, unchanged from the week before.
