- Chicago Board of Trade corn futures ended lower on Tuesday as forecasts showed limited rains in the U.S. Midwest allowing for improved planting progress in the coming weeks.

  • July corn CN25 ended down 6-3/4 cents to $4.83-1/4 a bushel.

  • Midwest showers are expected to be limited enough in the next 16-30 days to improve the corn seeding pace, according to forecaster Commodity Weather Group.

  • Farmers planted 12% of the nation's corn crop by April 20, topping the five-year average of 10%, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said in a weekly crop progress report. Analysts on average expected planting would be 10% complete, according to a Reuters poll.
