Crop Condition Ratings

Corn ratings gd/ex came in at 60% which is down 2% from last week's 62%, average guess was an improvement of 1%

Bean ratings gd/ex came in at 56%c which is down 1% from last week's 57%, average guess was an improvement of 1%

Crop ratings showed a decline while most were looking steady to better, this should prompt a firm start in the night session as it continues the narrative of declining yields in August since the WASDE crop report.
