The Final Bell

The ProFarmer numbers provide a crucial on-the-ground perspective, often highlighting regional variations that can either confirm or challenge broader estimates like those from the August WASDE report. These numbers are gathered through a detailed process where scouts physically measure crop conditions across key areas, assessing factors such as pod counts in soybeans and kernel rows in corn. After collecting this data, ProFarmer compiles and analyzes it to arrive at their final yield and production estimates. Comparing these numbers with the August WASDE report helps identify potential adjustments in expectations, which could influence the September WASDE report. Depending on these findings, it may be necessary to adjust our marketing plan to better align with the updated market outlook.
