December corn on the CBOT fell 1.6 cents today to settle at $3.75 per bushel due to crude oil dropping $1.87 to $94.06 a barrel. Also today, the USDA reported in its weekly crop progress report that 86% of U.S. corn has been harvested. This number is slightly above what analysts expected (83%-85%).
