US corn sales reductions for 2023/24 were reported at a new marketing-year low of 173,100 tonnes in the week to August 29, down noticeably from the previous week and from the prior four-week average, landing below the USDA’s expected range of (100,000)-100,000 tonnes, USDA data showed on Friday September 6.
