Corn, soybean conditions dip slightly

Another week of spotty heavy moisture and higher-than-normal temperatures took its toll on U.S. corn and soybeans, according to Monday’s USDA-NASS Crop Progress report.

Seventy-one percent of the corn crop is in good-to-excellent condition, down 3% from the previous week, USDA said Monday. Soybeans fared slightly better; Overall, 66% of the crop is in good-to-excellent condition, down just 1% from a week ago. The development pace is just ahead of normal for this time of year, anywhere from 2% to 7% ahead of the norm for both crops.
