March 2026 has brought a relatively steady corn harvest, with conditions reflecting what many would consider a “typical” season. Grain humidity levels have been favorable, ranging between 14% and 15%, allowing for smooth harvesting and minimal need for post-harvest drying.

The summer was notably dry, which has influenced yields across the board. Average production is coming in at around 6,000 kg per hectare—respectable, though not exceptional. As expected, irrigated fields are outperforming dryland crops, with results varying depending on the volume and timing of water applied throughout the season.

On the market side, prices are holding at reasonable levels, currently hovering between USD 210 and 220 per ton. This provides a solid, if unspectacular, revenue outlook for producers.

One positive highlight this season has been the absence of significant issues with pests or weed pressure, contributing to stable crop performance and manageable production costs.

Overall, while this year’s corn harvest may not stand out as extraordinary, it reflects a balanced and dependable campaign—an average year with few surprises, which in agriculture is often a welcome outcome.
