This report draws on information from USDA's global network of agricultural attaches and counselors, official statistics of foreign governments, other foreign source materials, and results of office analysis. Estimates of U.S. acreage, yield and production are from the USDA Agricultural Statistics Board, except where noted. Production is estimated at a record level due to an increase in the total foreign category. Production is estimated at a record due to increases in Argentina, Romania, and Morocco.
Production is revised higher due to an increase in yield.
Harvest was completed during the spring of 1997. NC -1 Production is unchanged from last month. Also, sorghum is revised higher. Production is estimated higher as an increase in corn yield more than offset a decline in harvested area. Production is estimated higher due to harvest results indicating higher corn yield.
