Wall Street=Seen opening higher as investors await the U.S. Jobs Report.

Think about that! How upside down are the markets right now.  Used to be before the digital printing press was pressed into overtime that the potential upstick in jobless claims would drive the mkt. lower. BUt now that is just another reason to prime the pump.

We are screwed!

Why are we screwed? Was you hoping for less employment?

Can I get some of what informa is smokin it must be some good stuff. Must be why ive have several end users calling to buy corn this week been offered.20 over wonder why they are offering that with that big of a crop.

[Mizzou_Tiger]

what do I think.........

I think you now owe me a new smartphone.........because I just blew soda all over mine after I saw we are going to raise just shy of what we did last year for corn................

o and they are f-ing nuts...........

thats pretty much it...........

I have come to the conclusion this AM that the world has officially gone mad...............its all downhill from here.........

[toughguy189]

I read an article in the Aurora News Register that stated that the local coop is shipping corn by truck and by rail from their Aurora location to Iams dog food plants in Ohio and North Carolina, with special attention being paid to aflotoxin tests on every load. I don't think the crop is there and there are definitely end users that are concerned with the quality of the corn that is out there.
