Episode 51 - USDA's June 30 Acreage Report a Non-Event for Corn and Soybeans

In this episode, Hunter Biram and Scott Stiles recap one of the quietest June 30 USDA reports in recent memory. With little market reaction, they dig into what the numbers mean for corn, soybeans, cotton, and rice heading into the July WASDE. Corn and soybean acres came in slightly under expectations, while cotton saw a surprise jump and rice acres declined more than forecast. The team breaks down how these shifts may influence production, stocks, and pricing in the months ahead—and why weather will play a critical role in shaping markets through mid-summer.
