The US Department of Agriculture lowers its estimate of the area under corn

The USDA noted that its previous estimate of the US corn planted area was rough due to the coronavirus pandemic. According to new information, the cropland was 7 million acres less and amounted to 81.1 million acres. The Derecho storm, which damaged corn crops in the states of Iowa and Illinois, is an additional factor behind the growth of corn prices. Soybean crops suffered, too. The extent of the damage is being refined. So far, it is known that the storm affected 37 million acres of American farmland under various grains and other crops. According to the USDA, there is a good demand for American corn. Total export obligations for the new corn crop reached 451 million bushels, the highest since 1996 for this season of the year.
