 I'm Brent Barnett with Ag Headline News on Brownfield. USDA's national corn and soybean condition ratings held steady over the last week. While there are areas of concern, overall crop development weather is mostly favorable in much of the Midwest and Plains. USDA says 68% of U.S. corn was rated good to excellent with 41% of the crop silking. 68% of U.S. soybeans are good to excellent with 51% blooming.
