Corn futures are showing weakness on Friday, with losses of 3 to 4 ½ cents at midday. The CmdtyView national average Cash Corn price is down 4 ½ cents at $3.83 ¾. The average December close so far in October, with just six trading days remaining, is $4.19. This compares to last year’s harvest price for crop insurance at $4.17 but is 51 cents below the February price.

On Thursday evening, President Trump announced he had terminated trade talks with Canada due to the unauthorized use of a former President Reagan speech regarding tariffs. No details were released on if or when trade talks will resume. This development is notable as Canada has been a large buyer of U.S. ethanol.

Argentina’s corn crop was estimated at 33.8%, according to the Buenos Aires Grain Exchange, marking an increase of 3.9% from the previous week.

As of now, the futures prices are as follows:
– December 2025 Corn is at $4.23 ½, down 4 ½ cents
– Nearby Cash Corn is at $3.83 ¾, down 4 ½ cents
– March 2026 Corn is at $4.37 ¾, down 3 ½ cents
