Here in Northern North Dakota very little planting has occurred i would guess at best 10 to 15 % of land is planted and some of that land has significant drown out and crop looks tough from to much rain. The planting progress for spring wheat shows that 50% of the crop is planted for North Dakota but i find that hard to believe with all acres not planted and Northern tier of North Dakota is where most of spring wheat acres are found. I would guess that large percentage of crop planted of 10 to 15% is corn and other crops. I am wondering how Canada has been making out planting because they were similar with late winter and wet going into the fall. I think we could see significant area of PP and majority of those acres could be Wheat. The market seems to think theres going enough wheat but i don't think they believe that alot of bushels they are counting on are not going to get planted. Then what were hearing on hard red winter wheat disaster of crop i find it hard not to believe that ending stocks are going to way down and high quality wheats are going to be short supply.
Right now its raining over large area of state and rainfalls since thursday range from 2 to 4 inches on allready saturated ground and more rain forecast for next week. Also in North Dakota very little of land has drain tile were dependented on drains and natural drying so it takes time to dry off the top soil to get back on the land.
I have been waiting for markets to respond to create incentive to plant past planting dates but haven't seen much movement and it appears they are content with what ever gets planted. Canola market has responded some and in our area i believe that will create
some incentive to plant past planting dates.
