The USDA says inspections of corn and wheat for export were down week to week while soybean assessments increased during the seven days that ended on March 20. Corn inspections that week totaled 1.46 million metric tons. The agency says that’s down from 1.69 million tons a week earlier but still ahead of the 1.26 million tons assessed during the same week in 2024. Wheat assessments were reported at 484,700 metric tons, down from just over 495,000 tons during the prior week but up from the 432,764 tons in the same week last year.
The USDA says soybean inspections rose to 822,214 metric tons from almost 658,000 tons the previous week and 785,600 tons at the same point last year. Soybean inspections since the beginning of September total 39.9 million metric tons, 32.4 million metric tons of corn, and wheat since June 1 is at 16.9 million metric tons.
