Across the 18-state corn area of the US, 79 percent of crops are in good-to-excellent condition, the largest percentage in five years, according to a US Department of Agriculture (USDA) crop progress report. US corn farmers are forecast to harvest 80.7 million acres, but analysts have warned the growing season still has several months to run, and the USDA mid-August report will give a more accurate picture of the 2018-19 corn crop.
