Last week USDA-NASS published their annual June Acreage report. The report provides state-level planted and harvested acreage estimates for all principal crops. We can compare estimates from the June Acreage report to estimates from the March Prospective Plantings report and last year’s planted acreage. We also need to consider changes in total planted acreage versus shifts in planted acreage among competing crops. For this newsletter, we are going to review planted acreage for corn, soybeans, and hay.
