For the fourth week of harvest (ending July 25th) PTAB estimates are 690,216 short tons (sT) (626,095 metric tonnes (mT)) to be delivered. Provisional total (1,289,426 sT or 1,169,638 mT) is 21% lower than the average quantity processed during past three seasons at this time (1.725 million sT).
Another 835,579 sT (757,954 mT) are estimated to be harvested during the week 5 (ending August 1st). If achieved, this would bring the provisional total up to 2,125,005 sT, (or 1,927,592 mT).
Due to a hot and dry summer in the US Midwest, processing should start around August 15th. The Midwest crop is estimated to remain the same at 450,000 ST.
