The real deal.

This wet weather is the real deal. Storms this weekend will put a nail in many acres planted and not planted. Corn and beans. If I were an enduser I would be all over these firesale prices.
This is historic folks

It's ok, they will import all they need from SA. There's plenty of food in the world, just ask the traders.

IH - This go's beyond just rain fall - there can and may be a lot of under lying problems to come - things like loss of N - Or fert- period - I have seen some pretty yellow corn in my area - Not from lack of N - But my guess is there may be a root problem as it had been pretty cool threw here and then add all the rain in - which since the last few days in May till now = 9.5 inchs - Lets throw in these dew point  days running 68 thru 71 degrees = Maybe - disease in some numbers - yes my friends - there are a lot of unknowns - that's for sure --  I just love playing in the big casino - don't you ??

Ecin,
Another problem is no sunlight,we need sunlight,micro nutrient def showing up. This crop is a mess. I'm expecting a 30 - 50 yield reduction in what does survive.
The corn that was mudded in early ,looked decent ,however I suspect it will turn backwards eventually.
Like I said this is historic and the market doesn't realize it. I do suspect a strong move up tonight.
