" ...The agency said that it expects a harvest of 13.53 billion bushels of corn in the marketing year beginning this autumn ..."

Short timers continue to amuse me.

I can remember when the floor went heavily long into a production report ('84 I believe) and the projection was 7.62.

The groans, wailing, and gnashing of teeth could be heard for miles.

13.53 doesn't seem that small, in comparison.
