Grain Market Insight
Morning Grain Comments 8-20-2026 – The grain markets were higher overnight after again opening steady to lower in a heavy trade volume night session with all of the grains trading both sides of Wednesday’s closes. The StoneX Quick Editorial (QE) this morning stated, “corn accounted for the bulk of strong overnight trade volume, with Illinois crop prospects joining the “disappointing” group in the Pro Farmer tour thus far; reports should improve as the tour scours the rest of Iowa and winds up in MN tonight, before estimating national yields tomorrow…” The Pro Farmer Tour continues today with the final results being released tomorrow. The export sales report this morning showed 9.2 million bushels of old crop corn and 32.1 mb new crop corn, 3.1 mb old crop soybeans and 63.3 mb new crop soybeans, 14.5 mb wheat, and 300,000 bushels of milo. At the end of the night session at 7:45 this morning Kansas City September wheat was 2.5 cents higher, Chicago September corn was up 5.5 cents, and Chicago November soybeans were 4.5 cents higher. Have a wonderful day.
Afternoon Grain Comments 8-19-2026 – Everything finished up on the day. Corn was driven by more news from ProFarmer. Today they claimed Iowa was underperforming in the highest-producing counties. This comes after the USDA estimated a record yield in the state. There has been no average released yet but it was stated in the StoneX Grain Recap, “anecdotal reports on social media cast doubt on the govt’s estimates.” That being said the PF tour last year estimated 182.7 bu/acre last year and the final tally was about five points higher at 186.5. ProFarmer also released pod count averages for beans in Indiana and Nebraska showing a down turn from last year while, just like with corn, the USDA claimed a higher year-to-year yield in Indiana. Unlike corn estimates PF was much more accurate with their bean estimate than they were with corn. Only time will tell the truth with beans and corn. In the wheat market it was another day, another flip from yesterday’s trading! StoneX Grain Recap said, “So many Russian and Ukrainian Stories are circulation that it is tough to know what is new and what is just repackaged.” This conflict is a lot like the weather in the Midwest, if you don’t like it, wait five minutes and it will change! At the close today Kansas City September wheat closed up 18 cents, Chicago September corn was up 10 cents while Chicago November beans closed up 20 cents. Have a great rest of your evening.
