*Excludes corn for ethanol

In the May WASDE report, USDA estimated 1.957 billion bushels (bb) of U.S. 
ending corn stocks for the new 2026-27 season, based on a 16 bb corn crop. U.S. 
ending corn stocks for 2025-26 were increased from 2.127 bb to 2.142 bb, on 
reduced food and seed usage.  

USDA estimated 310 million bushels (mb) of U.S. ending soybean stocks for 
2026-27, based on a 4.435 bb crop. U.S. ending soybean stocks for 2025-26 were 
reduced from 350 mb from 340 mb, on decreased exports but increased crush 
usage. 

USDA estimated 762 mb of U.S. ending wheat stocks for 2026-27, based on a 1.561 
bb crop, the lowest in 54 years if realized. U.S. ending wheat stocks for 
2025-26 were lowered from 938 mb to 935 mb, on increased exports but lower 
seed, feed, and residual usage.  

Tuesday’s U.S. ending stocks estimates were neutral for corn, slightly 
bullish for soybeans, and bullish for wheat.
