“With fresh news scarce and all eyes on the Pro Farmer Crop Tour, reports of southern rust, tip-back, and tar spot continue to circulate,” said Cole Raisbeck, commodities broker at Kluis Commodity Advisors. “At the same time, negative reports are balanced by accounts of healthy fields and strong yield potential, reflecting a wide range of crop conditions. Yesterday, corn extended its gains from last week, but we still need fresh bullish news to sustain the rally.”
