USDA forecasts 2027/28 US corn area at 95.5M acres, output 16.025B bushels

The US Department of Agriculture forecast 2027/28 US corn planted area at 95.5 million acres, with production of 16.025 billion bushels. In the same projections, the USDA put soybean area at 87.5 million acres and soybean output at 4.635 billion bushels, while wheat area was forecast at 44 million acres with production of 1.792 billion bushels.

These are long-horizon baseline projections rather than near-term signals, so their weight lies in the corn-versus-soybean acreage split they imply, which shapes how the two crops compete for ground in coming seasons. The figures matter most to growers planning rotations and to grain merchandisers and ethanol suppliers mapping future supply. Whether the projected corn area holds through subsequent USDA updates, and how it tracks against the soybean number, is the open question worth watching.
