Afternoon Grain Comments 10-9-2026 – Corn got hit hard today. The USDA raised this year's yield 2.7 bushels per acre to 181.2, and almost nobody saw that coming. Most analysts were at 178.5 or lower. That added a lot of corn to supplies, and the USDA now has the carryout climbing to 1849 million bushels. Funds headed for the exits and sold an estimated 75 thousand contracts of their long. The StoneX Market Intelligence (MI) said the report was “squashing a lot of bullish hopes,” but also pointed out that next year the market will have to keep the same acres and grow another record yield, so it may be about how long prices stay weak before they have to rally to buy acres. Beans were a little higher. The USDA bumped the bean yield up too, but it was not nearly the shock corn got. Wheat followed corn lower. MI called wheat the “forgotten man” today. The USDA added a little to our carryout because of smaller exports, and the big news was overseas, where it cut Russia's wheat exports by 3 million metric tons because of the disruption in Black Sea trade. At the close today, cash corn was down 20 cents, cash wheat was down 17 cents, and cash beans were up 4 cents. Have a great weekend.
