The USDA said inspections of corn and soybeans rose week to week while wheat assessments declined during the week ending on April 2. Corn inspections through the week totaled two million metric tons, up from 1.88 million a week earlier. The agency said that’s also above the 1.61 million metric tons inspected during the same week last year. Examinations of soybeans for offshore delivery rose to just over 779,300 metric tons from 694,000 tons during the previous week. The total was down from the 817,000 assessed at the same point in 2025. Wheat inspections declined week over week to 334,000 metric tons from 386,200 tons a week earlier. That was down from the 816,900 tons inspected a year ago at the same time. Yearly corn and wheat inspections continue ahead of last year’s pace, while soybean inspections continue to lag behind 2025.
