Grain Market Insight
Afternoon Grain Comments 8-21-2026 – With the Pro Farmer Crop Tour going on this week it was eventful and helped the fall crops moving higher. StoneX reported the Pro Farmer Crop Tour estimated a 15.344 billion bushel corn crop compared to the USDA August estimate of 16.013 bb and the StoneX estimate of 16.160 bb. The soybean yield was a little better from the Pro Farmer Tour estimating 4.572 bb compared to USDA at 4.519 bb and StoneX at 4.470 bb. China reportedly purchased nearly 26 million bushels of soybeans today. Not much news for wheat this Friday afternoon but FOB Russian wheat is said to still be significantly cheaper than U.S. wheat, but will you be able to get it? At the close today cash wheat was 6 cents lower, corn and milo were up a nickel, and soybeans ended the day 3 cents higher. For the week, wheat was up 2 cents, corn and milo were 30 cents higher, and soybeans were up 47 cents. Have a great weekend.
Morning Grain Comments 8-21-2026 – The grain markets were lower most of the night session with corn and wheat trading both sides of yesterday’s closes but soybeans were lower throughout the night session and were double-digits lower during the session as was wheat. The StoneX Quick Editorial (QE) this morning stated, “the most-traded December corn contract took profits over-night after coming within a tick of effective contract highs, though it did build back up to the high side in the early morning hours; the PF Tour has brought in some buyers this week but momentum at $5/bu may be tough to sustain…” StoneX reported “Day four of the Pro Farmer Crop Tour found Iowa corn yields at 194.0 bushels per acre, down from 198.4 bpa last year but above the 191.3 bpa three-year average; soybean pod counts there averaged 1,363 per three-by-three foot square, down from 1,384 LY but above the 1,296 3YA.
