USDA Weekly Grains Inspected For Export Report (7/25): Wheat Inspections Double, Cannot Make Up For Other Losses

An increase in inspections of U.S. wheat last week could not make up for a larger drop in corn inspections.

According to today's Grains Inspected and/or Weighed for Export report by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the total for the week ending July 21 was a little more than 1.6 million metric tons (MMT) or nearly 9% less than the previous week.

Nearly half that was corn, but the 724,000 total was down about a third from the week before.

Soybean and sorghum inspections were also down week-to-week.

Wheat inspections, by contrast, more than doubled to 475,000 metric tons.
