The chief revenue officer at an Ohio based cooperative is expecting a stronger year for the corn market in 2025.
Kirk Roetgerman with Mercer Landmark says it all depends on Brazil’s second crop corn.
“What is going to be this yield of the secondary corn crop that’s getting planted currently in Brazil? That’ll really begin to take it off in June, July, and there’s a lot of things that’s happening. If things don’t look quite as good, we could see a nice little uptick of rally on the corn.”
He tells Brownfield this year’s U.S. corn production predictions could help farmers meet global demand.
“If we do plant say 94 million acres this year, that was based on the baseline acreage numbers and we have a trend line yield of 181 or 182, we’re looking at the largest crop on history coming out of the US.”
Roetgerman says limited global supplies should help keep U.S. corn competitive on the global market.
