In yesterday's WASDE Report release, USDA cut to U.S. soybean stocks, which supported commodity markets. The USDA raised the U.S. corn yield to 188.8 bushels per acre. Beef output is projected to fall 3.9% in 2025 and 1.8% in 2026, while pork output is expected to decrease slightly. Steer prices are forecast to rise 21% to $227 per pound in 2025. Cattle prices are also up, with strong demand driving boxed beef prices higher. Severe storms are expected in northern Nebraska, and extreme heat is forecast for central and southern Illinois.
