largest on record with the lowest percentage of broken corn and foreign material (BCFM) to date.<\/p>\n<p>Warm and dry weather conditions in April and May let producers plant ahead of schedule, and despite concerns about continued dryness in June, healthy rainfall returned later in the summer. This allowed the crop to properly mature and resulted in the timely harvest of 386.97 million metric tons (15,234 million bushels) of corn.<\/p>\n<p>The average aggregate quality of the representative samples tested was better than the grade factor requirements for U.S. No. 1 grade. The report also showed that 88.0 percent of the samples met the grade factor requirements for U.S. No. 1 grade and 96.7 percent met the grade factor requirements for U.S. No. 2.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Council is proud to produce this annual report that proves the quality and abundance of U.S. corn year over year. The transparency it provides to buyers helps them make informed decisions and takes another step towards developing markets, enabling trade and improving lives,\u201d said Brent Boydston, USGC Chairman. \u201cThis crop\u2019s incredible volume allows the United States to remain the world\u2019s leading corn exporter, accounting for an estimated 26.4 percent of global corn exports.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The report is based on 611 yellow corn samples taken from defined areas within 12 of the top corn-producing and exporting states. Inbound samples were collected from local grain elevators to measure and analyze quality at the point of origin and provide representative information about the variability of the quality characteristics across the diverse geographic regions.<\/p>\n<p>This year\u2019s corn protein concentration registered at 8.8 percent, an improvement on the five-year average of 8.5 percent. The crop also showed lower average total damage and average moisture content when compared to the five-year average.<\/p>\n<p>The chemical composition of the crop remained in a healthy range, as 99.5 percent of the samples tested below the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) action level for aflatoxins and 100 percent of the samples tested below the 5.0 parts per million FDA advisory level for deoxynivalenol. Additionally, 98.3 percent tested below the FDA\u2019s strictest guidance level of 5.0 parts per million for fumonisin.<\/p>\n<p>Read the full\u00a0<em>2023\/2024 USGC Corn Harvest Quality Report<\/em>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/usgc.informz.net\/z\/cjUucD9taT0xMTMzNDk0OSZwPTEmdT0xMTU4NDc2MDIwJmxpPTEwNTg1MTE3MA\/index.html\" data-informz-link=\"true\" data-informz-link-name=\"\" data-informz-do-not-track=\"false\">here\u00a0<\/a>and stay up to date on its associated rollout events on the Council\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/usgc.informz.net\/z\/cjUucD9taT0xMTMzNDk0OSZwPTEmdT0xMTU4NDc2MDIwJmxpPTEwNTg1MTE3MQ\/index.html\" data-informz-link=\"true\" data-informz-link-name=\"\" data-informz-do-not-track=\"false\">website<\/a>.
