This is your Daily Corn Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark podcast.

Welcome back to the Daily Corn Price Tracker. I am Vanessa Clark and I am thrilled to have you tuning in for your go-to update on the latest corn prices, market-moving news, and what all that means for farmers, grain marketers, and anyone keeping an eye on corn commodities.

Let’s dive right into this Wednesday, October twenty-second, and start with the numbers you need to know. According to multiple market analysts, and as reported by news outlets like Nasdaq and Total Farm Marketing, corn futures are seeing a slight bounce this morning. December corn is trading around four dollars and twenty and a half cents a bushel. That is up slightly—just three-quarters of a cent from yesterday’s close, which settled at four dollars and nineteen and three-quarters cents. March corn contracts are also up fractionally, standing at four thirty four and a half. For those keeping a close eye on cash prices, the national average is currently around three seventy-nine and a half per bushel.

Now, what’s behind these moves? After a modest dip yesterday, where prices slipped by roughly three to four cents, today’s market has stabilized. This comes as traders weigh several factors. Export inspections are a bright spot, holding sixty-one percent ahead of where they were this time last year, which is providing some underlying support. On the flip side, harvest pressure is ever-present. Recent reports suggest the US corn harvest is about sixty to seventy percent complete, but rainy weather could slow that pace in several key producing regions.

Another consideration for the corn market is international demand and shifting global trends. Exports to countries like South Korea and Mexico continue to drive business, with recent deals moving nearly ten million bushels. Meanwhile, Brazil’s corn exports in October have been revised upward, and ethanol production from Brazilian corn is forecasted to jump significantly next marketing year, signaling potential for long-term shifts in the export landscape.

Back at home, basis levels for corn remain impressively steady across the Midwest. That suggests good underlying demand from domestic users, despite the seasonal pressure that typically comes with harvest activity.

Political developments are also on traders’ radar. Recent comments from President Trump regarding future meetings with China, and his talk of major tariffs, are stirring uncertainty, which tends to keep grain markets in a cautious mode. For now, the fundamental story is harvest progress, export strength, and weather impacts, so expect continued choppiness and narrow moves as we head into the close of October.

For growers thinking about the rest of harvest, keep in mind that now is a great time to review your grain marketing plan, especially with the crop insurance pricing window for October winding down. If you’re using crop insurance, those monthly averages near that four dollar and nineteen cent mark could play a role in your end-of-year decisions and risk management.

To wrap up, December corn today is trading just above four twenty per bushel, holding remarkably steady as markets absorb the latest on harvest, exports, and ethanol trends. As always, keep watching those weather forecasts and export sales—both could tip the scale in the coming days.
