The USDA’s national corn condition rating dipped a little bit. That followed another mixed week of weather in many key U.S. growing areas.
The USDA says that as of Sunday, 74% of the crop is rated good to excellent, 1% less than last week, but still higher than most recent years thanks to the early season rainfall in much of the region. 95% of corn has been planted and 85% has emerged, both close to the respective five-year averages.
