Prices for U.S. wheat, soybeans and corn all surged Thursday on the Chicago Board of Trade, as forecasts for continued dry weather in key areas of the Midwest crop belt raised concerns about yield prospects.
The latest weekly data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture estimated 57% of the domestic corn crop and 51% of soybeans are dealing with drought conditions, up 12% from last week for both, as the trouble spreads in the Midwest and Plains.
