Crop Reports and Price Reactions Overview

This report contains corn, soybean, wheat, and Upland cotton price reactions 
to the USDA Crop Production and Grain Stocks reports. Each year, estimates of 
corn, soybean, wheat, and cotton production are published in the monthly Crop 
Production reports. Corn and soybean estimates are published in the August, 
September, October, and November Crop Production reports and the January Crop 
Production Annual Summary. Wheat estimates are published in the May, June, 
July, and August Crop Production reports and the September Small Grains 
Annual Summary. Cotton estimates are included in the August, September, 
October, November, and December Crop Production reports and the January Crop 
Production Annual Summary. Estimates of corn, soybean, and wheat stocks are 
published in the Grain Stocks report issued in March, June, September, and 
January. This report does not imply that NASS reports are solely responsible 
for changes to the price level for commodities referenced in the publication. 
The price level for any commodity can potentially be affected by other 
information available to the market at that time but ultimately is determined 
by supply and demand.  
	
The prices in this report for corn, soybeans, wheat, and cotton represent 
sales from producers to first buyers at major markets as reported by the USDA 
Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS). The price data series used for each 
commodity is described below:

Commodity	AMS Market News Price Used
Corn	The closing cash price for Southern Iowa #2 yellow corn.
Soybeans		The average price paid at Southern Iowa points by processors.
Wheat		The closing cash price for Kansas City #1 hard winter wheat 
(ordinary protein).
Upland cotton	The 7-Market Average Base Quotations for Upland cotton (the 
Upland cotton base quality is color 41, leaf grade 4, staple 
34).

Before May 1994, the quarterly Grain Stocks report, the monthly Crop 
Production report, as well as the Annual Crop Production and Small Grains 
Summaries were all published at 3:00 p.m. ET. Therefore, the "prior closing 
price," referred to in the tables of this report, is the closing price the 
day of the release since the U.S. markets were already closed at 3:00 p.m. ET 
and did not have a chance to react on that day. Referring to data in this 
publication, if a report was published on Thursday at 3:00 p.m. ET, the 
"prior closing price" is Thursday's closing price. The "day after price" is 
the closing price on Friday and the "week after price" is the following 
Thursday's closing price.

However, starting in May 1994, the release time for all reports mentioned 
previously was changed to 8:30 a.m. ET. Therefore, the "prior closing price," 
referred to in the tables of this report, is the previous day's closing price 
since the U.S. markets had not yet opened on the day of the release. The "day 
after" and "week after" prices are then published to reflect the same number 
of days after report publication as when the report was released at 3:00 p.m. 
ET. Referring again to data in this publication, if a report was published on 
Tuesday at 8:30 a.m. ET, the "prior closing price" is Monday's closing price. 
The "day after price" is the closing price on Tuesday since the U.S. markets 
were open after the report was released and the "week after price" is the 
following Monday's closing price.

Beginning in January 2013, the release time for publications referenced in 
this report was changed to 12:00 p.m. ET. This change did not affect the 
"prior closing price" or "day after price" definitions described in the 
previous paragraph.

Due to the lapse in federal funding in October 2013, the National 
Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) 2013 October Crop Production report 
was cancelled. Additionally, Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) Market News 
price reports were also cancelled. As a result, no data is available for a 
price comparison for the 2013 Small Grain Annual Summary or the 2013 
September Grain Stocks report.
