U.S. Feed Grains Supply Is Raised on Gains for Corn, Sorghum
This month, USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service released updated corn and sorghum area, yield, and production estimates. Based on available data (including the latest certified acreage data from the Farm Service Agency), corn area harvested is raised 1.356 million acres and area harvested for sorghum is raised 40,000 acres. Associated yields are lowered 2.1 bushels per acre for corn and raised 1.4 bushels for sorghum. Taken together, these changes result in production gains for both grains of 72.7 million bushels for corn and 10.7 million bushels for sorghum. These production changes combine with updates to 2024/25 corn use and related shifts in 2025/26 corn beginning stocks to support an aggregate 2.6-million-metric-ton increase in the U.S. feed grains supply. At 480.4 million metric tons, the already record-large U.S. feed grains supply continues to grow, contributing to lower grain prices, compared to the year prior.
