Delayed USDA market reports will be released Feb. 8
Over 60 reports were not released at their scheduled times due to the furloughed staff of the National Agricultural Statistics Service. USDA this week announced that many of those reports, including final harvest numbers for 2018, will be published on the next regularly-scheduled report day Feb. 8.
The February World Agriculture Supply and Demand (WASDE) report will also be released then.
Especially missed updates are those from South America, such as Brazil and Argentina, which are at a critical point in their season.
Many market analysts are warning farmers to watch for the glut of data from USDA shocking the market when released.
