(13,141 posts)There is no evidence from reliable sources to support the claim that U.S. corn exports have "collapsed" recently. In fact, data indicates the opposite: U.S. corn exports have been strong in the 2024-25 marketing year. According to the USDA, exports are projected to reach 2.65 billion bushels, the highest since 2020-21, driven by competitive pricing and high demand, particularly from Mexico. Export sales have surged, with weekly sales in October 2024 exceeding 2 million metric tons, and total exports through July 10, 2025, up 28% from the previous year. Mexico alone imported 25.33 million tons in 2024, accounting for nearly 40% of U.S. corn exports.[](https://www.ers.usda.gov/topics/crops/corn-and-other-feed-grains/market-outlook)[](https://www.usimportdata.com/blogs/us-corn-exports-2024-25-top-exporters-data-analysis)
Claims of a "collapse" may stem from exaggerated or misleading sources, such as YouTube videos suggesting drastic declines (e.g., "94% Wiped Out" or "88% Wiped Out"
. These are not substantiated by USDA data or reputable reports. However, challenges exist, including competition from Brazil, which surpassed the U.S. as the top corn exporter in 2023, and reduced demand from China due to their focus on Brazilian corn and domestic self-sufficiency. Additionally, potential trade disruptions with Mexico and Canada could impact future exports.[](
For the most accurate data, refer to USDAs Foreign Agricultural Service reports at fas.usda.gov. If you have specific figures or sources suggesting a collapse, please share them for further analysis.[](https://apps.fas.usda.gov/export-sales/esrd1.html)

(10,756 posts)...cuts to people speaking but you can't hear what they are saying because the narrator is talking
...statements cut off in the middle of a sentence
....mismatches between the narrator and the video
Makes it hard to follow. I get the gist. The US corn supply is being snubbed in favor of Brazil. So far, at about 6 minutes in, not one mention of "Donald Trump" but plenty of references to chaos and instability in the US. All thanks to Trump. How does this "Make America Great Again"? Perhaps it was never his intention to make America great again. We know he lies about everything. This one was a whopper.

I just took a look at their youtube page. 36 videos that are all the same BS. And over a million views. Easy money for some content "creator".
