The May Feed Outlook report shows record-high 2025-26 U.S. corn supplies support elevated corn exports. U.S. old and new corn crop export forecasts are both raised this month on increased price competitiveness and the slower-than-expected pace of shipments from Argentina and Brazil. U.S. corn exports for 2024-25 were raised 50 million bushels this month to 2,600 million, the highest since the 2020-21 marketing year, when exports reached 2,747 million bushels.

The corn crop is projected at 15.8 billion bushels, up 6% from a year ago on increases to both area and yield. Planted area of 95.3 million acres if realized would be the highest in over a decade.

Screwworm is a parasitic fly that poses a significant threat to livestock and wildlife. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins announced the suspension on Sunday, citing detections of the screwworm as far north as Oaxaca and Veracruz, Mexico, approximately 700 miles from the U.S. border.

The April Feed Outlook report shows the U.S. corn exports boost 2024-25 global coarse grains trade prospects. U.S. 2024-25 corn ending stocks are expected to be 75 million bushels lower this month at 1.465 billion bushels.

While at the NCBA CattleCon this past February, I heard one of the speakers say, “Bovine are God’s favorite protein, so we are blessed.” It was one of those fun little quotes I wrote down, thinking I could use it as a photo caption or something one day. However, I’ve come back to the quote again and again, thinking about it more. There are a lot of uncertainties in our industry and our world right now.
