Where's the Crop Going? 03/15/10 11:04:46 AM
- At the end of each corn marketing year, the time period in which the USDA tracks a corn crop's sale, there is the "carry-out" or "ending stocks" - the amount of corn left over that is then carried into the next crop marketing year.
- From 2009's US corn crop, the estimated carry-out is 1.7 billion bushels - an amount that is above the 10-year average.
- Corn farmers are growing more corn on the same acreage - the record yield in 2009 was 165.2 bushels per acre, up 21% since 2000.
