Breaking News-RTRS-US corn, soy yields seen rising on good weather

CHICAGO, July 21 (Reuters) - Near-perfect conditions in soybean and corn fields around the U.S. Midwest this summer could lead to a bin-busting harvest this fall, an extension economist said.
If good growing weather persists through August, soybean yields in the United States could reach 44.7 bushels per acre, said Darrel Good, extension economist at the University of Illinois. The U.S. Agriculture Department predicted soybean yields of 42.6 bushels per acre in its latest forecast.
