According to information from the international website Farm Futures, a weekend snowstorm in the Upper Midwest will continue today, likely slowing planting progress in the region and thus pushing up corn prices.
Despite this, the publication highlights that planting weather remains favorable in other parts of the Corn Belt, limiting morning gains.
“The weather in the United States last week was good for corn planting,” Matt Ammermann, commodities risk manager at StoneX, told Reuters.
