2020 U.S. #corn March planting intentions: 97 mln acres
Top 5 largest falls Marchfinal in last 30 years: 1995 -5.1% -3.8ma 1993 -4.2% -3.2ma 2019 -3.3% -3.1ma 1997 -2.3% -1.9ma 2013 -2% -1.9ma
All these years except 1997 were among the most delayed planting years on record.
Here's the change from the March survey to the June survey for U.S. #corn plantings:
I usually show this chart in reference to yield, but with 2020 intended #corn acres (97 mln) at the highest since 2012, thought it would be good to see by state. Nebraska is the most interesting at 2nd highest ever behind 1932. Iowa comes in 4th behind '81, '12, & '07.
Here are a couple different comparisons with intended 2020 U.S. #corn planted acres by state. First up, comparing with 2019 planting intentions, published one year ago (before the spring flooding problems worsened).
