Thanks Mike appreciate the slideshow and if anyone on here wants to poo-paugh that 8" dry that deep won't affect yields is looking with current market sentiment rather than reality. There will be corn out there but it will not nearly be as much as USDA and the current market wishes/hopes/projects. The top has been gone for a long time, late planting, N loss, soil compation, cool growing weather, too dry, prevented planting, perhaps early frost as well (its August 1st almost instead of July 1st. For whatever reason it seems almost conspiratorial that the market seems to wants lower prices regardless of what the reality of the growing conditions may be! Oh, well Iowa may save us with a big crop this year- wait check that they have some problems, Illinois will save us- uh might be some problems there too, what of Wisconsin, Michigan, S.Dakota, N. Dakota, Nebraska? Oh well Indiana and Kentucky will do it if you throw Ohio and Maryland in for good measure! Is this part of that "hopey/changey" metality that we have developed over the past couple of years? Well reality will set in once the combines roll but will a lot of farmers buy into this nervona of a corn glut and have sold it for less than $4.50 and watch it go up from there? Literally it is a multi-million dollar question that we will have to wait until January to find the real answer to it.
