US agricultural crop production and supply updates

Overview

In early October 2026, the USDA released its World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) report, providing global projections for corn, soybeans, and wheat. The report estimated US corn production at 15,716 million bushels and soybean production at 4,541 million bushels, noting that these revisions influence global commodity price expectations and export margins for producers like Brazil and Argentina.

By late October, subsequent USDA reports detailed specific progress in US harvesting and planting. Cotton harvesting reached 52% completion, while winter wheat planting accelerated to 76% nationally. Corn and soybean harvests also progressed, with corn 60% harvested and soybeans 79% harvested. Additionally, US orange production was estimated at 61.7 million boxes, reflecting a decrease from the previous year.
