March Corn & Soybean Outlook Update

Purdue agricultural economists Michael Langemeier and James Mintert discussed the corn and soybean outlook following USDA’s March World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) report and provided implications for 2021 and 2022 crop marketing strategies on the Purdue Commercial AgCast. Updates on ending stock estimates, South American production expectations, and corn and soybean basis along with a discussion of prospects for corn vs. soybean acreage in 2022 were all featured.

The recording is only available as a podcast this month (and not as a webinar or YouTube recording) because the team was in New Orleans during Commodity Classic.
