I`ll just throw 2¢ in about NCIA and try to be objective and not alarmist. The corn on good ground hasn`t rolled yet and if we recieved uncharacteristic timely rains through July we could be looking at record yields in some fields. "Gravel pit" fields are of course rolling, I`m told every 12hrs corn rolls before tassel deduct 1% and deduct 3% at tassel. Now, drainage ditches have grass growing in them, don`t know how far down you`d have to dig to get moisture, corn must have 5` roots to look this good. The concerning part is the Accuweather forecast couple 100º days and only a smattering of 4/100ths rains if you could call that rain for 25 days. Their previous month forecast had way more rain than we acually recieved. Southern Minnesota had more rain and their soils in many cases need it, ran up there this AM and corn was mostly rolling. I know if the midwest got a general 2" rain it would be limit down a couple days, but that would perhaps be a real gift horse buying opportunity for endusers. If Accuweather`s forecast isn`t wrong we will have to be hurting at the end of 25 days. I haven`t foreward sold any new corn and wouldn`t do so at any price(that`s not to say anyone else shouldn`t). I`m just saying we probably won`t have a disaster, but if we were...this is how one would start. My Great Uncle used to say "We always get rain just before it`s too late" I hope he`s right, but the Mayan calander does end in December
