Too dry,  Too Hot

Too wet, Too cold

Too hot, In the Pot

Does not a huge crop Hold

Lawns are starting to dry up and the pivots are starting to run here and its only May!

    How will the market react when one or two of the many weather related production problems actualy happen? My guess is that with as many almost problems that there are already globaly,there is a 50% chance at least 2 of them will actualy manifest!

I agree 100% that is is getting dry on top in eastern Iowa.  But, tile are still running a trickle.  That means the subsoil is at full capacity.  We may well have problems with root growth, but right now there is water there in my fields.  Two weeks could see a great difference.

i'd love to see 1/2 inch rain to activiate the herbicides and give the crop a little boost.
