It is still APRIL, rain makes grain.

Yep big rain event....with a blowing dust
Advisory. Keyed suggests wearing masks.

But I think I've figured out the market people.
The other day I was watching "big bang theroy" TV show. The parents from India
were Skype with their daughter, they
were worried.
"There were tornados in Kansas city, is
That near you, are you alright? "
((The show occurs in California ))

c'mon, you guys produce - not daytrade--why are you concerned over tonights open???

Cat  -1stly - try & take the desperation out of it my friend - i know easier said than done - esp since your body's been turned inside out a few times here.

--refer back to my 1st posting - following the comm $$$ is a very weighted aspect - influencing direction of the grains.

RE: WW - Noah's FLOODING OR complete dry from now to June - haven't enough people on the ground CONFIRMED a significant % of non-recoverable production in south & some in NW? 

Back me up or tell me i don't understand on this Palouser, but China has paid for US beans we've shipped, i thought & shipments are almost up to latest USDA export increase.

correct me if i'm wrong....but aren't we about OUT of old supply (SOY) - 4 months left in mktg year -gonna need just about every bu SA can send us just to get by and keep up w/ USDA's already pegged out (lower end) of min pipeline ???

Hi cx.  Thanks for the updates - seems like you must have live quotes.  Are there any free sites you have used that you'd recommend?  I realize live is never free...

If I want to look at the whole board, I use barchart.  But for grains only I found this one and it is quite good.  It auto updates every 30 seconds during the day (manual refresh at night), has all the North American grains, and best of all no ads!!  But maybe there is something even better??

i only get my live free with live acct.

might be some pretty inexpensive deals out there, however...just never looked

friend once said he found some 99 cent/mo deal for live - techie guy - don't know what it was - he probably hacked into it?

If rain is falling in western kansas it is hitting the ground in Nebraska.

Worst conditions I have seen.

sw, what wind speed lifts the dirt where you are?  Is it light sandy soil? 

Here, wind erosion hasn't occured since the 1980's.  Haven't had droughts like you are enduring, but also tillage & seeding practices changed drastically in the last 25 years.  Very rarely is any soil left open to wind, especially in drier parts of the Canadian prairies.  Where excess moisture is more often a problem, there is still some more aggressive tillage, usually to dry and warm the soil a bit to improve the seed bed. But those areas never have blowing dirt.
