Global Weather Highlights
-
Argentina’s Rosario Exchange places the 2025/26 corn crop estimate at 61 million metric tons, assuming normal rainfall. The 2024/25 harvest was revised upward to 50 mmt. TradingView
-
European southern grain belts remain under stress; Spain and southern France are facing tightening soil moisture.
-
Australia is seeing mixed rainfall; some regions with surplus moisture, others dry—crop prospects remain generally stable.
United States Weather Overview
-
The Eastern and Midwestern Corn Belt continue to see hot, dry conditions. Several areas—Ohio, Indiana, Illinois—have registered top-five driest Augusts on record.
-
Frost risk remains low but nighttime lows in northern Plains could dip near frost thresholds later this week.
-
Southern Plains and Delta regions are dry, hampering late-season crop fill.
Northeast Kansas Weather & Crop Snapshot
-
Light rains (0.1–0.3") fell in isolated pockets; most areas stayed dry.
-
Corn in late grain-fill with picking starting in early-harvest zones. Soybeans are nearing full maturity; leaf drop accelerating.
-
Temperatures look to be moderate this week with highs in mid-80s, overnight lows in low 60s; no major rain expected.
Macro & Market Drivers
WASDE & Production Expectations
-
The USDA will release its Crop Production and WASDE reports this Friday at 11 a.m. CST. Market consensus expects yield and production cuts for both corn and soybeans vs. August estimates, though both crops remain near record levels. Global wheat stocks are projected to increase slightly. China remains largely absent from U.S. soybean commitments. Objective yield estimates will be included this month. DTN Professional Feed+1
Argentina Crop & Acreage Forecasts
-
Rosario Exchange projects 61 mmt for Argentina’s 2025/26 corn crop if weather cooperates. Last season’s numbers have also been raised. TradingView+1
-
Soybean acreage in Argentina is expected to decline, with some shift toward more corn planting.
China’s Soybean Sourcing for October
-
China booked about 7.5 mmt of soybeans for October delivery, of which nearly all came from Brazil. U.S. soybeans remain uncompetitive due to a 23% tariff. Analysts estimate U.S. could miss out on 14–16 mmt of potential soybean exports if China continues delaying purchases.
Biofuels and Policy Uncertainty
-
Renewed debate on RIN obligations and whether refiners will face full obligations. Recent biofuel policy signals have unsettled soy oil and ethanol markets.
-
Ethanol margins remain generally strong due to low corn costs and reduced competition from foreign renewable diesel.
Looking Ahead
-
Friday’s WASDE/Crop Production report is likely to set the tone for corn and soybean pricing into fall.
-
Export inspections and the weekly export sales report will be watched for signs of China return.
-
Weather remains a wildcard: dry stress in eastern Corn Belt, potential for cool nights in the north.

Harvest season in the U.S. isn’t just busy—it’s massive. In a typical September, grain handling, logistics operations, elevators, and transport move over 1.2 billion bushels of corn and soybeans in just 30 days, enough to fill more than 3,000 Panamax-sized bulk freight ships if exported all at once.
