    Corn tumbles 2% as the USDA lowers its expected crop yield and harvest only marginally from last month's estimates. Also lowered were expected exports - to 1.25B bushels from the already low figure of 1.3B. As a result, new crop ending stocks are now estimated at 733M bushels, up from 650M.

  • The problem is these numbers seemingly have no connection to reality.

    The first 10% of the crop harvested averaged only ~86 bu/acre. Sure that's going to be among the worst fields, but 85 bu/acre is a very long way away from 120 bu/acre. This is going to be a tough disparity to reconcile.
