Welcome Back! It's a great asset to this board to have you in-play here. When you get your wits about you, tell us what you think about how nervous, or not, the market remains about those farmers that can't get in the field. And here is why I ask. My catch phrase this growing season is "This year's different". It's different because tight supplies has the USDA saying we better get 92.0 million corn acres. It's different because the world is telling the U.S. farmer it needs all the grain it can grow. This year is different because there never has been so much pressure put on the 'fringe' states to produce. And guess what, those 'fringe' states, the ones with historically less yielding ground, are the exact ones that have farmers that can't get in the fields, due to relentless rainfall.
I know there has never been a year when we didn't get the crop planted. That's not what I'm saying. There never has been a year when the pressure and necessity to grow so much from every corner of this great big Corn Belt field. That's why I'm sticking with "This year's different". Again, welcome back and we look forward to your valued contribution OptionEye. Now, what say you?
Mike
