The USDA\u2019s national corn condition rating held over the past week and soybeans improved. That followed another week of generally favorable development conditions in much of the Midwest and Plains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The USDA says 74% of corn is good to excellent, steady, with 34% silking and 7% at the dough making stage, both just ahead of the respective five-year averages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

70% of soybeans are called good to excellent, 4% more than last week, with 47% of the crop blooming and 15% at the pod setting stage, which is slightly faster than normal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

54% of spring wheat is in good to excellent shape, 4% higher, and 78% has headed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

54% of cotton is rated good to excellent, an improvement of 2%, and 61% is squaring with 23% setting bolls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

77% of rice is in good to excellent condition, 3% more than a week ago, and 33% has headed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

69% of the sorghum crop falls into the good to excellent category, a gain of 2%, and 24% has headed with 14% coloring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

46% of U.S. pastures and rangelands are reported as good to excellent, up 1%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
