OMAHA (DTN) -- USDA on Friday released its Sept. 1 Grain Stocks and Small Grains Summary reports.

USDA said there were 1.36 billion bushels (bb) of corn in storage as of September 1, 2023, the official end of the 2022-23 marketing year. It was toward the low end of pre-report estimates and reflects USDA's decision to revise 2022 corn production down to 15 billion bushels. The yield for that year was adjusted upward by 0.1 to 173.4 bushels per acre.

For soybeans, USDA said there were 268 million bushels (mb) in storage, toward the high end of pre-report estimates. USDA lowered 2022 production by 5.93 million bushels. The updated wheat production estimates are generally bearish for wheat, he said.

Friday's Grain Stocks report was bullish for corn, bearish for soybeans and neutral for wheat, according to DTN Lead Analyst Todd Hultman.
