Corn Maintains Stability During Early Wednesday Hours

In the world of agriculture, the corn market is experiencing some shifts. According to ANEC, Brazil's corn exports for August are estimated at 8.05 MMT, a slight increase from last week's forecast.

Meanwhile, in the United States, the corn futures and cash markets show a short-term softness. As of August 28, 2025, the market trend for corn futures and cash corn prices shows a slight downward pressure, with some mixed daily movements.

  • September 2025 corn futures closed around $3.82 1/2 per bushel, down approximately 5 cents from the previous session. Earlier in the week, prices traded between $3.80 and $3.87.
  • December 2025 corn futures closed near $4.11 1/2 per bushel, slightly down by about 1/4 cent.
  • March 2026 corn futures closed at approximately $4.28 3/4 per bushel, down about 1 cent.

The new crop cash corn price is currently around $3.68 1/4 per bushel, showing a modest increase of 3/4 cent on August 23 but more recently reported near $3.64 1/2, down 4 1/4 cents from prior levels.

Corn prices have generally declined over the last month by about 1.66% for benchmark prices and about 2.74% to 3.34% compared to last year’s levels. Futures contracts have experienced small decreases recently, influenced by related commodity pressures like wheat and ethanol production reports.

However, analysts expect corn to trade higher later this year, with forecasts indicating about $3.99 by the end of Q3 and $4.19 in 12 months.

The USDA is looking for a 4 bpa increase in yield for the year, as per the ProFarmer report. This comes after the USDA's last Tuesday report, which predicted a 7 bpa increase from last year.

Regions like Indiana, Minnesota, North Dakota, Ohio, and South Dakota have shown ratings slips in conditions, while Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, and Nebraska have shown notable improvement.

The national average Cash Corn price is $3.62 1/2, down 3 1/4 cents. The Nebraska yield in the annual ProFarmer is estimated at 179.5 bushels per acre (bpa), up from last year's 173.25 bpa and the 3-year average of 166.33 bpa.
