In the weekly Crop Report, the French agricultural consultancy FranceAgriMer today reports that 61% of French corn stocks were in top condition on 13th August. Last week it was 62% of the stocks. In the last three weeks, the proportion of holdings rated "good to excellent" (g / e) fell by 10 percentage points. This shows that the hot and dry weather had a negative impact. However, the decline in ratings has slowed down.
At the same time, 79% of the maize stocks received the top rating g / e at the same time last year.
