The long awaited october Crop Production report is out from the us da. Soybeans are now expected to be a record 4. 27 billion bushels. Where Corn Production is sitting next in agribusiness. Stay with us on tv9. Welcome to the agribusiness report, im david geiger. Rain has slowed things down. According to the iowa crop progress report. Last week. There were only four and a half days good for fieldwork. Most of the corn is now mature. And 19 percent of it is harvested. About a week behind the average. Moisture content is at 20 percent. With conditions at percent of beans are dropping leaves. And a fifth of iowas crop was harvested in the last week. At 43 percent harvested. Three days behind last year. Bean conditions are 81 percent good to excellent. The long awaited october Crop Production report is out from the us da and the crops are the biggest ever. Soybeans are now expected to be a record four point two seven billion bushels. Thats up two percent from last month. Yields are a record 51 thats all on 83 million acres. Also a record. Corn production is down slightly from earlier estimates. At 15 point one billion bushels. And yields are expected to average a hundred 73 point four bushels an acre, both would make the biggest yield and production on record. Corn harvest area is at 86 point eight million acres. And just after the Production Report came out yesterday. I called market analyst dan hueber before the market the domestic numbers were pretty much right in line with the expectations. And i guess in all cases, i dont want to say lean friendly, but ending stocks, if we use that as a final barometer. Ending stocks. Are a little bit lighter than anticipated. Wheat, corn and beans so all three. Which makes that, i guess you could say, lean to the positive side, certainly not negative even though were looking at record yields in corn, record yields in soybeans. And certainly plenty of but also nothing there particularly in the face of harvest thats enough to really sustain the buyers that want to hang in there and keep a strong face. The Cattle Market as a whole has been in a year long almost decline, thats extended once again this week. I think this is more of a position where its fishing for a bottom, trying to find some value, trying to pick up some buyers in there. Not quite there yet. I think maybe here by mid month or maybe by the end of the month, at the latest here, we should certainly its been a pretty disastrous day in hogs period you know since mid june, this week, you know the hog market has stabilized a little bit. Now from a technical perspective it looks like its probably ready for a bounce. I dont want to say, boy thats it, weve made a big turnaround here. But at least its showing a bit of a brighter picture her than we have in the cattle. Also in that Production Report. Some big moves in oranges. The us forecast for this year is five and a quarter million tons. The florida forecast is down 14 percent. However. Florida frozen concentrated orange juice is forecast to yield five percent more per box. And thats all the time i have for the show today. Thanks for tuning in.
