The US agricultural markets saw mixed price action on October 2, 2026. The corn futures market extended its decline from Wednesday, with December corn falling to $4.97 3/4, near mid-range and down 30 1/2 cents for the week. Technical selling in corn futures is expected early next week, according to Pro Farmer After the Bell's Lindsey Pound.
