Mixed Trade Near Weekend | Friday, June 6, 2025

Just after 9:00 a.m. CT, July corn was down 3¼¢ at $4.36¼ per bushel.

July soybeans were 1½¢ higher at $10.53¼ per bushel.

“Corn, soybeans, and wheat favored the downside overnight as the buying interest that gave us [Thursday’s] rebound subsided.” Karl Setzer, partner with Consus Ag Consulting said, adding a reason for the bounce was updated weather forecasts, “[It was] calling for a ridge to set up across the U.S. bringing warmer, drier conditions to the region. Updated models are still calling for heat, but precipitation chances have increased, tempering the odds of crop damage.” 

Setzer said the bottom line was crops look good where they’ve been seeded, “Next Monday’s progress report will show us how much corn planting was completed before the final plant date, and possibly a better indication if farmers will opt for payments rather than production.”
