“Fresh news is light [Thursday] morning as it has been all week.” Karl Setzer, Partner with Consus Ag Consulting said, “Crop tour results continue to point out good yields, but not the level needed to reach current USDA production estimates. More cases of corn disease are being reported, mainly fungus. Southern Rust, Tar Spot, and simple mold are also being reported across the Corn Belt. Even if these do not impact production, which they likely will, corn quality will be affected.”
