The USDA said inspections of corn for overseas delivery fell week-to-week, while soybean and wheat assessments improved. The agency’s weekly report said corn inspections dropped to 1.21 million metric tons in the seven days ending on July 31. That’s down from 1.53 million tons the previous week and the 1.27 million tons assessed during the same week last year. Examination of soybeans for export rose to 612,539 metric tons, up from over 427,000 the prior week and well ahead of the 267,000 tons inspected at the same point last year. Wheat assessments were reported at just shy of 600,000 metric tons, up from 290,000 tons a week earlier and 471,500 tons a year ago. During the current marketing year, the USDA has inspected 61.6 million metric tons of corn for offshore delivery, 47.8 million metric tons of soybeans, and 3.91 million tons of wheat, with all of those totals higher than last year.
