USDA rated the winter wheat crop 45% “good” to “excellent” and 21% “poor” to “very poor.” On the weighted Pro Farmer Crop Condition Index (0 to 500-point scale, with 500 being perfect), the HRW crop declined 3.4 points to 315.8 amid a 3-point drop in top producer Kansas. The SRW crop dropped 1.4 points to 368.8, as a 4.4-point decline in top producer Illinois offset improvements in the other states. CCI ratings for both crops remain below year-ago.
