This report brought mixed news to the cornmarket with a slight increase in U.S. corn usage for feed and for ethanol production which resulted in a50-million-bushel adjustment to total usage and bringing total use to 14.605 billion bushels. However,even though ending stocks were reduced by 50 million bushels to 2.122 billion bushels, the season-average price was reduced by 5 cents per bushel to $4.70. U.S. corn ending stocks were slightly higherthan the average of pre-report trade expectations but still near the middle of the range of expectations. South American corn production was reduced slightly by USDA, dropping 1 MMT in Argentina, butholding Brazil steady with the production estimate in March. The drop in Argentinian corn productionmatched pre-report trade expectations, but USDA’s Brazilian corn production number was 2.25 MMThigher than the trade pre-report estimate and at the top of the range. The higher Brazilian cornproduction number by USDA also led to world ending stocks for corn than the trade expected. For soybeans, USDA held production estimates for Argentina and Brazil at the same levels as reported inMarch. The market was expecting an increase for Argentina but a 3 to 7 MMT decrease for Brazil. TheUSDA estimate of 155 MMT of soybean production for Brazil was at the upper end of the range of pre-report expectations and world soybean ending stocks also were higher than trade expectations.Unrelated to today’s WASDE report, but relevant to the market’s expectations, the Brazilian cropagency, CONAB, reduced their estimates of Brazilian corn and soybean production to 110.9 MMT ofcorn, and 146.5 MMT of soybeans. There is now an 8.5 MMT gap between CONAB’s estimate of the sizeof the Brazilian crop and USDA’s estimate of the Brazilian crop. This is the largest gap ever between theestimates of the two agencies. Ethanol average daily production for the week ending April 5 averaged 1.056 million barrels. This is anew high daily production for this week of the year. The previous high was 1.034 million barrels per dayin 2018. This was down 1.6% from last week and up 10.1% from last year. The amount of corn used forthe week is estimated at 104.82 million bushels. Cumulative corn use for the crop year has reached3.209 billion bushels. Corn use needs to average 103.65 million bushels per week to meet the USDA'smarketing year forecast of 5.400 billion bushels. The dollar index on Wednesday rallied by +1.04% and posted a 4-3/4 month high. The dollar racedhigher Wedne
