In the outside markets, the NYMEX crude oil market is $0.59 per barrel higher at $41.60. The U.S. dollar is lower, and the Dow Jones Industrials are 45 points higher.

Jack Scoville, PRICE Futures Group, says that the markets fell due to stronger crop ratings and big crop estimates for Brazil.

“We had no export demand in the daily announcements so that was negative as well. But everyone is talking about super yield potential and maybe some record crops. Not sure if records are out there but it is in fact a very nice looking crop for just about all major production areas. And, we need to find a home for it which will be hard as there are nice crops about everywhere in the world. Going to be a bearish year from the looks of it," Scoville says.

What in the world is the excuse for double digit down for beans today? Any news Mike, canceled cargoes or something?

[BA Deere]

StoneX had a crazy good yield projection corn & beans.  The crop looks the best i`ve ever seen it...however if that 1" rain doen`t materialize tomorrow night and we do get the 88 degrees Saturday it could start going downhill quickly around here and this is coming from a guy that usually cusses the rain.  If the rain comes and a wet 2nd half of August, Katie bar the door.

[wrightcattle]

folks could get a shot of rain. 

Maybe not 2.

These prices and markets are a joke!  1980 called they want their prices back scumbag thieves.  Someone should cut these traders and analysts salaries by 75% See how they react for the next 3 years.

Just hope and pray Sonny doesn’t get a hernia from shoveling all the extra cash that will be required.

Markets, once lost, take a long time, if ever, to come back.

I said that a long, long time ago.  And it’s as true now, as when I said it.  No reason to get mad  - it is what it is.....

I had to click on when I saw the Jemn MN was back....and she did not disappoint 😮

Welcome back JennyBear....although if you look at sales and total exports....this is really a supply driven meltdown coupled with a domestic demand collapse from a pandemic.....I wouldn't blame that on Obama if it happened to him, but sure it always the other sides fault. And, surely, you are not intoxicated enough to think Bumbling Basement Joe would do any better  🙂

[roarintiger1]

Of course......what is it now?.......8 years in a row of record crops?   This has nothing to do with these prices.    Yeah, right.

On a side note,  look at the bargain end users and China are getting now with the price of grain.  

While we are at it, we might as well tell China to take a hike and not ship them any food products.   Only seems fair for them "letting" this virus escape.
