Well as usual it worked for a day. We took @ 20% reduction in carry out in one month and pushed the futures market down 8-9 cents.
usda raised its arm, pointed out there and said look at that world market. And we took all day trying to see what wasn't there.
Oh, wait, one thing i did see in the foreign corn market --- Ukraine has new uniforms for its young farm workers.
And lets see ----- a little subtraction says we are 420million bushels higher than carry was at the end of 2012 when we were barging it up the Mississippi to get by.
With a 719M bu carry out in 2012, we were having trouble sourcing corn ---- rumor was two stupid farmers in eastern iowa were holding it in provate grain bins --- prices were 6.90 - $7 (usda assumption from the sd report august 2012) plus basis bonus.
Flash forward to April 2014----- two crops have been raised (near record crops---14 billion range) and our carry out has raised 420 million bushels on a budget that uses 13+ billion per year. That is 11 days of usage if we worked every day----- so that is 8 working days of supply. How will we ever get over a mountain of supply like that?? -----
