Re: Floor Talk June 21
What a rain yesterday! It seemed to be fairly widespread. The market sure thinks the rains did some good. I know there will be folks claim that they didn't get much out of it. But, for a lot of crops, that rain was welcomed. And good news, there's more out there this morning, according to the latest Freese-Notis Weather Inc. radar:
Enjoy the rain. The markets will take care of themselves.

Re: Floor Talk June 21
Yes the rain was welcome. I live in central NE, and for me, I got less rain than the RADAR let on to be. My total was about .35", but on the bright side, it was the heaviest rain since about May 10th. We actually had a puddle in the yard for a little while. Not a crop saver by any means, but it kept the pastures from turning all brown.

Re: Floor Talk June 21
Are the ethanol plants closing because they can't get the corn or because the don't want to bid $7 for it? I know who would sell corn for $7.

Buckley_HF,
In western Illinois, the farmers that irrigate are running the pivots. This photo was sent to me last night by a contact near Dixon, IL. He says he saw a lot of these running yesterday:

Re: Floor Talk June 21
Our local Co-op helps source corn for our local ethanol plant, and the grain buyer there, says that most farmer they talked to, just do not have the corn to sell. Price was good, the winter was open, and load after load came was sold & delivered from Jan thru Mar, and just isn't there. I have a few bushels left over, and they told me to bring it in, they are giving free storage until October 1st, on the condition that I sign something to where I will not want the corn back, so they can deliver it to the plant. As of right now, they are just trying to get a bushel count, to give the plant an idea of how much corn they might be able to get to them. I don't think it would be a good thing, to be going full steam, and then one day just have nothing.
