U.S. Crop Progress expectations for June 2. The five-year planting average for #corn on this date is 96%. 71% would be slowest on record (next: 1995 77%, 1982 85%) Five-year average for #soybeans is 79%. 42% would be second slowest (1995 40%)#plant19

Corn 67% planted lower than expected

Beans 39%......this was also on the low end of guesses.

On June 2, U.S. farmers still had 82 million acres of #corn and #soybeans to plant. That dwarfs 2nd place: 54 million in 1995. Only 2 other years still had 40+ mln left on June 2. 2019 breakdown: ~31 mln left on corn & ~52 mln beans. My guess is not all of those will be planted.

Only 67% of U.S. #corn was planted as of June 2, well below the five-year average of 96%. That is +9 points on the week and below the trade guess of 71%. The planting pace has been RECORD slow for 2.5 weeks now.  #plant19

How has late planting historically affected yield (if at all)? Here is U.S. planting progress on June 2 versus the final deviation from trend yield for the past 30 years.

 Charts for both #corn and #soybeans. Both are record slow on June 2 (67% and 39%, respectively).

From earlier: "We will open sharply higher. 

Should be a gap higher in corn and probably beans also gap higher.  BUT will we hold the gaps with planting going strong in the ECB right now?"

Top of the gap for corn is  CN 430.75  and for beans  SN 886.25. Those were the highs on Monday.  We opened several cents higher than the highs from Monday this evening and the lows of this evening above the highs on Monday are what we call the gap.

A gap like that which stays open is a bullish breakaway gap. But tonight, we have to ask what additional bullish news will there be that is even MORE bullish than everything that got us this high?

The planting delay news has peaked and so have the excessive rains.

 Trading below those levels is a gap and crap, buying exhaustion formation. Where, the panic type buying at the market..........hitting the offers runs out of steam and runs out of buyers.........until the price drops low enough to attract more buying at levels during the previous session.

We just filled the gap higher in SN.

Now the question is if we have enough buying near the highs of the previous session to keep us from dropping any more. 

So CN held its gap higher by 1 tick (430.75 to 431.00) and SN dropped a couple of cents below the gap but found some buying there. 

Grains have decidedly filled their gaps higher from last night caused by planting delays...............because the market is trading better weather(less rain) and planting catching up.

National corn planting progress since 1987...nothing comparable any more

                                      Simply amazing; past 12 months the wettest on record for the Nation and EASILY the wettest on record for the Corn Belt. Precipitation 8.53" above normal for 1902/03 in the Corn Belt simply PALES in comparison to our most recent 12 month period...an incredible 13.88" above normal

Corn and wheat sales were actually reductions from cancellations.  

Beans were good. 

Karen Braun Retweeted Karen Braun

FYI this was the first weekly net cancellation for U.S. #corn since August 2015.

And here are the analysts' own estimates. FWIW: smallest #corn crop since 2012 (10.76 bbu) was 13.6 bbu in 15/16. Largest corn crop on record was 15.15 bbu in 16/17.

  metmike: Look at the range of guesses in corn ending stocks for next weeks USDA report. WOW! This is the biggest spread in the guesses in history.  If the report comes in near the low end..........it's limit up and then some. Near the high end.............limit down and then some.   My guess is that it will be closer to the low end. 

Big range in beans but with the low end still huge.

No as much spread in wheat.

Whatever the corn planting progress number is on Monday...this is what it will compare to:

The rains have finally missed us a couple of times. Started planting late last Sunday(wet) and have planted every day since. Glad to get it in the ground, but it's very late. Usually around here, by the end of June, whole fields are fully tasseled. Might be a foot tall then this year

Congrats on finally finishing!

Knee high by 4th of July!  Yep that's 2019! 

Finished last night with beans.

 Finished June 4th with corn. Well over 50% not emerged here, and 25 % only 2-3 inches tall

I think we can start assuming a full 10% smaller corn crop.  Anyone want to go for 20%?

Yes, the market traded -10% back in May when we were at $4 and was considering -20% last Monday Night when we spiked to the highs.

U.S. Crop Progress expectations, June 9. Wide range on expected #corn conditions, but the average guess is 54% good-to-excellent. Corn planting is seen advancing 16 points on the week, planting for #soybeans seen up 17 points. Spring #wheat conditions likely to remain high.
