A new report by the Ag/Web Farm Journal details how in 2020 global crop yields set new records. The report can be found at “WASDE Increases Corn Exports by 50 Million Bu.â€.
According to the report, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) 2020/2021 World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimate (WASDE) says global wheat production is expected to set a new record of 773 million metric tons (MMt). The previous record of 765 MMt was set just a year ago in 2019/2020 season.
USDA reports it expects a new record for corn production, as well, predicting the 2020/2021 growing season’s global corn crop will hit 1.44 billion metric tons (BMT). This tops the 2019/2020 previous production record of 1.12 BMt.
