# USDA Reports Increases in Year-Over-Year Grain Production

## Strong Outlook for Grain Production and Export Demand

The USDA continues to report increases in year-over-year grain production. This is excellent news, especially with firm export demand. However, challenges arise when storage bins reach capacity. When harvests are abundant and movement slows, temporary storage becomes essential. It helps keep combines operating smoothly and protects grain quality.

“The US feed usage and exports were stronger than expected, especially for export, where the USDA was very aggressive. This led to the lower-than-expected ending stocks number on new-crop corn,” said Patrick Sparks, vice president of Global Risk Management, Inc., in  US crop production expectations.

While production, yields, and exports are on the rise, the need for temporary storage is also increasing. If you or your customers anticipate a need for additional temporary storage, Acadian Industrial Textiles is prepared to provide the mesh fabrics that are commonly used for these solutions.
