U.S. corn acres, grain stocks higher than expected

By Adam Peleshaty - MarketsFarm June 28, 2024

The planted area for U.S. corn in 2024 was determined to be 91.5 million acres, greater than the March USDA estimate of 90.04 million as well as the trade’s average guess of 90.35 million. However, the figure was nowhere close to last year’s acreage total of 94.64 million. After the release of the report, corn prices at the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) reacted bearishly with contracts losing more than 20 U.S. cents per bushel.
