This is your Daily Corn Price Tracker with Vanessa Clark podcast.

Welcome back to the Daily Corn Price Tracker, I am Vanessa Clark, and as always, I’m here to bring you the most timely news, prices, and analysis you need to stay ahead of the corn market. Whether you’re a producer, trader, or just tracking food inflation, let’s dive right in.

As of this evening, corn futures are trading just a bit softer after their recent rally. According to Trading Economics, the current trading price for corn is four hundred thirty one dollars and eleven cents per bushel, slipping by about zero point two percent from yesterday. Over the past month, corn prices have actually climbed nearly four percent, and compared to this time last year, the increase stands at almost five percent. That’s a notable firming, especially given how underwhelming market activity had been through late summer.

Looking at the factors behind these numbers, the story is all about supply, demand, and, of course, the weather. The 2025 US corn harvest is about seventy two percent complete, which is a bit behind last year’s pace. Farmers have been working overtime to get the crop in, but yield uncertainty remains a hot topic, with dry weather across key growing regions slowing progress. On the demand side, US corn exports have stayed quite robust, with significant sales reported recently to Mexico and South Korea. This upbeat demand is keeping domestic stocks tight, even as ethanol production holds steady and exports remain brisk.

Globally, we are seeing additional constraints. According to Rabobank, global corn inventories outside of China are among the tightest in decades. That leaves very little room for production surprises anywhere in the world. South American weather is getting more attention as dry conditions in central Brazil and Argentina threaten to reduce next year’s second crop, potentially limiting the supply relief we usually see out of the southern hemisphere.

In the US market, the December corn futures contract has been hovering in the low four thirties, testing resistance at the four thirty five to four thirty six mark. Traders are watching for support near four dollars twenty cents, which is the one hundred day moving average, and resistance at four thirty seven as the two hundred day mark. Right now, the market is digesting this week’s rally, and even slight dips seem to be well supported by continued strong export demand.

What does this mean for you? If you are marketing corn, keep an eye on those key price levels. The basis is beginning to narrow in some areas as the harvest winds down, so be strategic about cash sales and consider any opportunities to lock in favorable prices, especially with so much uncertainty about yields and weather heading into the winter.

Before we wrap up, a quick global update: France’s corn crop quality has slipped to sixty nine percent rated good-to-excellent, down a few points from last week, and Brazil’s corn planting is also running into some dryness, so we’ll be watching those developments closely in the days ahead.
