Looks like we are in for one day of sun...........followed by two days of rain.............then 3 days of sun........then more rain........going to be hard to get in and do much if this weekends rain pans out.........
Might be able to run by Monday afternoon IF IF IF we miss the weekend rain, however that will be a challange and it will at best be cloudy all weekend.............we need heat and sun bad...........
Corn thats in the ground will likely need some replant, too early to tell for sure, but last year in this area we had a similar situation of good planting in early April followed by cold and wet for an extended period...........a lot of fields around here that have been planted for 2-3 weeks and are not up yet................however this is going to play out interesting IMO...........with insurance, inputs, sold bushels, and TIME ticking away.............these replant acres may have to wait...........bare fields might just get all the attention...........IMO, based on the forecast and calender there is going to be some corn acres put in on marginal ground conditions..........these big guys might have big tractors, tillage, and planters.............they are also so spread out it takes a decent spring to get it all done............they don't have that this year...........overall averages could suffer in favor of getting over the ground, if these guy's have insurance the gaurantee is pretty dang good..........and big equipment is not a good thing on wet soil...............they will do what they can, but at the end of the day its a business, especially these big cash rent outfits..........thus bottom line is just as important as averages.............
As for markets............they toyed with them yesterday pretty good.........a lot of commodities swung yesterday..........the grain story is one of pure supply and demand..........IMO exports are our biggest challange..........sounds like even with the weak dollar China might be trying to curb consumption instead of bringing more in............thats not going to work real well if that economy has really crossed a threshold into a new era...........we shall see...........wheat has basically hit its sales number, just gotta get it out the door............soya are very close on both............corn is lagging..........
Makes for an interesting story as they are all going different directions...........corn supplies are in peril and US production could be too, yet demand might be getting shakey.............wheat supplies are decent, but US production is surely hurt, maybe bad and demand is pretty solid...............soya supplies are on middle ground but tight and US production is still very much up in the air and demand is pretty solid...............
