We’re excited to announce that we’ve released our August 2021 Yield and Production forecasts for U.S. and Canadian field crops! Released for free to the public on the first Tuesday of each month during the growing season, and available to clients through daily updates, our Crop Production and Yield Forecasts allow users to make crop marketing decisions ahead of traditional government reports and understand the complete supply-side picture of North American grain.

These forecasts are used by Ag Lenders, Commodity Traders, and Grain Marketers to make better lending, pricing, and hedging decisions every day, that’s why we are constantly trying to add to our offering. Most recently, we expanded the coverage of our Yield Forecasts with the integration of U.S. Hard Red Winter Wheat! These new forecasts sit alongside our U.S. Corn and Soybean yield forecasts and are available at the National, State (OK and KS), District, and County levels.

Check out our increased U.S. Production Forecast and Decreased Canadian Outlook:
