Sep 12, 2019 at 08:31 AM CST
AccuWeather’s latest 2019 crop production analysis shows 2019 corn and soybeans will have reduced yield and quality when compared to recent years. The company pegs corn at 13.36 billion bu. of production, 2018 was 14.42 billion. The service predicts soybeans will come in at 3.658 billion bu., compared to 4.543 billion bu. in 2018. In 2012, corn production fell to 10.76 billion bu. Soybeans fell to 3.357 billion bu. in 2013. This year corn and soybean yields will be at their lowest since these two standout years. The low yields are due, in part, to a challenging planting season. An early frost, while unexpected, would be detrimental.
