USDA lowers 2022 corn, soybean crop outlooks

The USDA has trimmed its outlooks for 2022 U.S. corn and soybean production slightly as harvest moves forward. It’s been another widely varied year for U.S. crop weather, with planting delays in some northern portions of the growing region, followed by periodic excessively wet conditions in some eastern areas during development and continued drought in parts of the Plains.

As of October 1st, this year’s corn crop is expected to be 13.895 billion bushels, a decline of less than 1% from September following a modest reduction to the average yield guess to 171.9 bushels per acre. Harvested area is estimated at 80.844 million acres. In 2021, corn totaled 15.074 billion bushels with an average yield of 176.7 bushels per acre and harvested area of 85.318 million acres.

Soybeans are seen at 4.313 billion bushels, 1% less than last month, with the USDA also cutting that yield expectation fractionally to 49.8 bushels per acre. This year’s harvested area for soybeans is expected to be 86.631 million acres. Last year, soybeans totaled 4.465 billion bushels with an average yield of 51.7 bushels per acre and harvested area of 86.312 million acres.

The USDA’s next set of supply, demand, and production estimates is out November 9th.
