The weather continues to be the story for crops across the world, as the U.S. continues to be hit by hot, dry weather for the last couple of weeks, raising questions as to where it'll be at harvest.
Weather patterns aren't expected to change any time soon either, as the outlook is for the same weather conditions to continue.
Quality is the highest concern, as bad weather could lower the level of starch the plants send to the kernal.
Corn futures for December delivery increased 2 cents, or 0.5 percent, to finish at $4.20 a bushel in Chicago, ending the week at a gain of 3.3 percent.
On Thursday corn reached its highest levels since June 15, 2009, going as high as $4.39 on the most-active contract.
The USDA said this week the amount of corn planted this year is lower than projected.
