The crop year (marketing year) of a crop is the twelve-month period over which one harvest is sold and used; for US corn it runs from 1 September to 31 August. Old crop is grain from the harvest already in store; new crop is grain from the harvest to come. Futures delivering before the new harvest price old crop, those after it new crop.

The US corn year, schematic: planting in spring, pollination in July (the weather-sensitive weeks), harvest from autumn; the marketing year begins on 1 September. The acreage report of late June is the season’s first hard number on the size of the new crop.
