July Corn Hits All Time High
July corn pushed to a contract high and all-time high today, the CME Group said in its Thursday afternoon report. With the USDA corn production estimate at 55 m/bu. below expected usage and ending stocks already at the second tightest in history compared with usage, any further declines in production would suggest that demand will need to be rationed. This was the key positive force for the corn market today. As Seen on marketwatchonline.com

USDA Trims Corn Acreage
Old-crop corn ending stocks are unchanged. New-crop ending stocks were lowered from the May estimate of 900 million bushels to 695 million. Feed and residual use was reduced 100 million to 5 billion; ethanol and exports were left unchanged at 5.05 billion and 1.8 billion respectively.
"This report should be viewed as bullish for corn," said DTN Senior Analyst Darin Newsom.

DETAILS COMING SOON!!
What's the Corn Market Doing?
While USDA could lower its estimate of 2011 production in Thursday's monthly report, the agency is also likely to trim its old crop demand forecast. Export Sales reported Friday came in at 27.6 million bushels, with the shipments rate still well below the rate needed to reach USDA's current target. Ethanol production, though up recently, is also below the government's target, with margins turning sharply negative on higher corn prices.
