Through the first three weeks of January, corn and soybean basis have been stable or weakened slightly. This is a continuation of the stabilization and slight weakening that started in December and follows statewide strengthening throughout November. Before November, the 2024-2025 crop basis levels were well below the three-year average.

It has been six weeks since the November Crop Basis Update was released. In that window, harvest has wrapped up across Indiana, and corn and soybean basis levels have been relatively stable compared to September and October. In all parts of the state, crop basis levels were higher on December 18th than they were on November 6th. This includes basis levels for Ohio River delivery points, ethanol plants, and soybean processors.
