USDA Crop Report

This week’s U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Crop Report shows promising developments in corn and soybean progress, crucial information for the propane and renewable fuels sectors. 88% of corn across the 18 states is dented and 48% is mature. These 18 states account for 92% of the corn acreage. Tracking corn progress is important for propane demand, as corn drying relies heavily on propane during the harvest season.

Additionally, 47% of the soybeans are dropping leaves in the 18 states and 4% are harvested, representing 96% of the soybean acreage. This progress is vital for the renewable fuels industry, like biodiesel, where soybeans are a key resource.

Understanding these trends is essential for industry stakeholders preparing for the upcoming months. For a detailed view of the crop conditions and more specific data, please click here.
