The USDA is releasing its national crop yield forecasts for the rest of 2012 at 8:30 AM.

Analysts polled by Reuters expect 127.3 bushels per acre, a low stemming from the drought.

U.S. corn futures rose to a new record high on Friday, rising as high as $ 8.30-3/4 a bushel.

“The USDA had people in the fields for this report,” he said.
