'Perfect' crop weather & growing expectations

[Jeff_a_Caldwell]

That's what Ray Grabanski says this week. That these yield expectations keep moving higher as the weather continues to be favorable for both corn and soybean crops. But, there are some issues out there, as we talked about here this morning.

So, what do you think? Is Ray right or wrong? Will these crops keep getting bigger until the combines roll?

Overall 115 b/a
