April 17, 2026, 8:54 AM EDT. Corn futures declined slightly on Thursday, with near-month contracts falling as much as 2.75 cents. The national average cash corn price dropped 2.75 cents to $4.11.

New crop sales were modest at 56,460 metric tons to Mexico. The Buenos Aires Grains Exchange boosted Argentina's corn crop estimate to 61 million metric tons, aligning more with Rosario Grain Exchange's 67 million metric tons and well above USDA's 52 million.
