With planting season around the corner, the March 10th webinar reviewed updated supply and demand information from the USDA reports for the 2020 crop year as well as what might be in store for 2021. The Purdue team discussed corn and soybean exports, ethanol demand, corn and soybean basis, and farm income projections.
