This is your Corn podcast.
Hey everyone, welcome to another episode of Daily Corn Price Tracker with your host Vanessa Clark. Today we're diving into the freshest corn market updates to keep you ahead of the curve on pricing, exports, and planting progress.
First up, the numbers you're here for. As of this morning, May 2026 corn futures are trading at four dollars and forty-four cents and a quarter, up four cents from yesterday according to The Andersons Trade Group. July is at four dollars and fifty-four cents, up three cents, September at four dollars and fifty-seven cents and a half, up two cents, and December at four dollars and seventy-three cents, also up two cents. Nearby cash corn hit four dollars and five cents nationally per Barchart's CmdtyView index, climbing three cents. Local bids vary, like Kansas City yellow corn at four dollars forty-five to four dollars forty-eight cents from 680 KFEQ reports.
Tuesday's session ended mixed, with front months gaining one and a half to two and three-quarters cents while later contracts dipped slightly, as noted by Barchart. USDA data shows strong private exports: three hundred sixteen thousand metric tons to Mexico across marketing years, plus one hundred twenty thousand tons to unknown spots. US planting is off to a solid five percent complete, two points ahead of last week but matching the five-year average pace, with most states on or above target except Iowa, Nebraska, and Minnesota.
Internationally, Brazil's CONAB bumped their corn crop estimate up one point three million metric tons to one hundred thirty-nine point five seven million, thanks to hikes in both first and second crops. Peace hopes and falling crude oil are pressuring prices a bit, per Helena Agri, but wheat's rallying on weather worries.
For farmers and traders, keep an eye on breakeven around five dollars with pre-war fertilizer, or five dollars twenty-five now, as Ohio's Country Journal points out. If you're marketing, those export sales signal demand strength.
