Corn rose to 433.53 USd/BU on December 2, 2025, up 0.01% from the previous day. Over the past month, Corn's price has fallen 0.17%, but it is still 2.43% higher than a year ago, according to trading on a contract for difference (CFD) that tracks the benchmark market for this commodity. Corn - values, historical data, forecasts and news - updated on December of 2025.

The dataset contains daily price ranges calculated from the daily high and low prices for Chicago Wheat, Corn, and Oats futures contracts, starting in 1877. The data is manually extracted from the ``Annual Reports of the Trade and Commerce of Chicago'' (today, the Chicago Board of Trade, CBOT, which is part of the CME group).

The price range is calculated as Ranget = ln(Ht) - ln(Lt), where Ht and Lt are the highest and lowest price observed on trading day t.

How to use the dataset

This dataset contains historical commodity price ranges for wheat, corn, and oats futures contracts from 1877 to present. It is a great resource for anyone interested in analyzing the trends of these commodities over time. Each row contains one day's data on the low and high prices of each contract.

To use this dataset, start by looking at the columns. There are several columns to choose from depending on which type of commodity you would like to analyze: Range_W_F1 (Lowest Price of Wheat Futures Contract), Range_W_F2 (Highest Price of Wheat Futures Contract), Range_C_F1 (Lowest Price of Corn Futures Contract), Range_C_F2 (Highest Price of Corn Futures Contract) and Range_O_F1 & 2 (Lowest and Highest Prices respectively for Oats Futures Contracts). Once you have selected the relevant columns for your analysis, pick a date range to focus on and filter out the rows outside that range. This will leave only those days within your chosen timeframe in the dataset so you can begin analyzing them more closely.

For an in-depth analysis it can be helpful to add other pieces data such as weather information or other economic indicators alongside these price ranges so you can investigate possible correlations between different factors that affect pricing in these markets over time. No matter how complex an analysis you might want to do with this data, this dataset provides a good starting point with reliable historical records dating all the way back over 140 years ago!

Research Ideas

• Market analysis to identify trends in prices of different commodities over time.
• Predictive modeling to forecast future prices based on past price ranges and market conditions.
• Proactive risk management strategies by tracking changes in commodity prices and anticipating potential changes in raw material costs for manufacturers or businesses that rely on commodities as part of their production processes

This data product provides three Excel file spreadsheet models that use futures prices to forecast the U.S. season-average price received and the implied CCP for three major field crops (corn, soybeans, and wheat).

Using Futures Prices to Forecast the Season-Average Price and Counter-Cyclical Payment Rate for Corn, Soybeans, and Wheat

Farmers and policymakers are interested in the level of counter-cyclical payments (CCPs) provided by the 2008 Farm Act to producers of selected commodities. CCPs are based on the season-average price received by farmers. (For more information on CCPs, see the ERS 2008 Farm Bill Side-By-Side, Title I: Commodity Programs.)

This data product provides three Excel spreadsheet models that use futures prices to forecast the U.S. season-average price received and the implied CCP for three major field crops (corn, soybeans, and wheat). Users can view the model forecasts or create their own forecast by inserting different values for futures prices, basis values, or marketing weights. Example computations and data are provided on the Documentation page.

Spreadsheet Models

For each of the three major U.S. field crops, the Excel spreadsheet model computes a forecast for:

1. the national-level season-average price received by farmers and
2. the implied counter-cyclical payment rate.

Note: the model forecasts are not official USDA forecasts. See USDA's World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates for official USDA season-average price forecasts. See USDA's Farm Service Agency information for official USDA CCP rates.This record was taken from the USDA Enterprise Data Inventory that feeds into the https://data.gov catalog.

Explore how weather conditions, global demand, geopolitical issues, and government policies impact the fluctuating price of corn per bushel in 2023. Understand seasonal trends, the role of futures markets, and the influence of biofuels on this essential commodity's market dynamics.

Basis reflects both local and global supply and demand forces. It is calculated as the difference between the local cash price and the futures price. It affects when and where many grain producers and shippers buy and sell grain. Many factors affect basis—such as local supplies, storage and transportation availability, and global demand—and they interact in complex ways. How changes in basis manifest in transportation is likewise complex and not always direct. For instance, an increase in current demand will drive cash prices up relative to future prices, and increase basis. At the same time, grain will enter the transportation system to fulfill that demand. However, grain supplies also affect basis, but will have the opposite effect on transportation. During harvest, the increase in the supply of grain pushes down cash prices relative to futures prices, and basis weakens, but the demand for transportation increases to move the supplies.

For more information on how basis is linked to transportation, see the story, "Grain Prices, Basis, and Transportation" (https://agtransport.usda.gov/stories/s/sjmk-tkh6), and links below for research on the topic.

This data has corn, soybean, and wheat basis for a variety of locations. These include origins—such as Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, and many others—and destinations, such as the Pacific Northwest, Louisiana Gulf, Texas Gulf, and Atlantic Coast.

This is one of three companion datasets. The other two are grain prices (https://agtransport.usda.gov/d/g92w-8cn7) and grain price spreads (https://agtransport.usda.gov/d/an4w-mnp7). These datasets are separate, because the coverage lengths differ and missing values are removed (e.g., there needs to be a cash price and a futures price to have a basis price).

The cash price comes from the grain prices dataset and the futures price comes from the appropriate futures market, which is Chicago Board of Trade (CME Group) for corn, soybeans, and soft red winter wheat; Kansas City Board of Trade (CME Group) for hard red winter wheat; and the Minneapolis Grain Exchange for hard red spring wheat.
