Chinese importers booked their largest U.S. corn purchase in at least 5½ years, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, reported Successful Farming. The USDA said private exporters sold 300,000 metric tons of the grain for shipment in the 2018-19 marketing year, which ends on Aug. 31. Flooding concerns and shipping challenges likely triggered the purchases, experts say.
