The national average cash corn price fell around 3.75 cents to $4.23 per bushel.

Shipments totaled 43.46 MMT, outperforming the typical pace at 52% of USDA projections. The Buenos Aires Grain Exchange reported Argentina's corn harvest 13% completed. May 2026 corn prices slipped to $4.66, while December contracts edged down to $4.90.
