DTN Top Stories

At 11 a.m. CDT on Wednesday, Aug. 12, USDA will release the August issue of the World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) report. BUSDA Reports Preview

DTN's Digital Yield Tour projects Iowa will have the highest corn yield in the country at 214 bushels per acre (bpa). Iowa is also projected to have the second-highest soybean yield at 61.8 bpa. While both yields are strong, Iowa's soybean yield could come in near or below the five-year RMA average yield. B2026 Digital Yield Tour - Iowa

Farmers and analysts who spoke to DTN last week at Minnesota Farmfest said they expect the state's crops to produce yields comparable to last year, which saw record or near-record yields in most counties. DTN's Digital Yield Tour forecasts the corn yield at 200.6 bpa and soybeans at 52.5 bpa. =^2026 Digital Yield Tour - Minnesota

Corn was rated 61% in good-to-excellent condition, and soybeans were rated 62% in good-to-excellent condition as of Sunday, Aug. 9. Winter wheat harvest reached 91% complete. BUSDA Weekly Crop Progress Report

For the first time, the DTN Digital Yield Tour kicks off in 2026 with national yield estimates for corn and soybeans generated by DTN's own proprietary yield models. B2026 Digital Yield Tour - National
