Corn Condition Slips From Week-Ago

 Special Note Coming soon - NASS’s annual June surveys on crops and livestock. In the first two weeks of June, NASS will survey about 140,000 United States producers and will visit 42,000 tracts of farm land to collect information. One of USDA’s largest survey efforts, the responses will provide the foundation for estimates in the upcoming growing year. With both data collection and data release taking place over a span of only four weeks, the results will be available beginning on June 29 in the Acreage and other reports. Farmers should watch for their survey and be sure to respond. Your information matters!
