January Corn & Soybean Outlook Update

Purdue ag economists Michael Langemeier, Nathanael Thompson and James Mintert discussed United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) January Crop Production and World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) reports on January 13. The Purdue team reviewed information released in the USDA reports and looked at what the year ahead may have in store during the webinar. Carryover corn and soybean supplies have tightened considerably, and concerns exist regarding the size of South America’s harvest.

The webinar recording and the slides used during the webinar presentation are available for download below. A companion Purdue Commercial AgCast episode is also available and can be found below or on any platform where you access your podcasts.
