South American Production Questions Linger
Brian Basting, with Advance Trading in Bloomington, Illinois, says Argentina’s corn crop is having issues. “Corn Leaf Hopper is transmitting this corn stunt disease, and that’s really hit the corn.” He says, “It doesn’t affect the beans, but it hit the corn bad. They have been expecting anywhere from a 55 to 57-million-ton crop, but now more folks are saying maybe it might be below 50.”
Basting says that’s still an improvement over last year’s crop.
