The U.S. Department of Agriculture reported farmers are expected to harvest the second-largest corn crop in history, despite flooding this year. The larger-than-expected yields, if realized by farmers in the field, are expected to give livestock producers, ethanol makers and consumers at least some short-term relief from high commodity prices. U.S. corn yields are expected to average 155 bushels an acre, which is 3.9 bushels more than last year. If those yields are realized, this year's corn crop will have been bested only by the 2004 corn crop.
