A few positives, just because that is the way I like to look at life.
Corn and beans both closed higher for the week....I think wheat did too...I just don't keep track of wheat.
The 6-10 day and 8-14 day is warmer and drier for Iowa and west.
Corn moistures are dropping very nicely....will help with harvest movement AND not transfering income to the LP guy.
Guys here are already running beans again today. Really spoiled as we have missed the big rains, ground is in great shape for harvest. (I realize this one is a local thing)
Some laugh at all the money spent on equipment, but man, sure makes harvest fun. And, it allows more time with grandkids in the cabs...pretty special times (yes, seat belts on kids is mandatory)
After reading Hobbyfarmer's flood mess, I am really, really grateful I don't have to combine those dirty crops.
I may not make much money farming this year, but I still love the life and am grateful I don't have to have to hit the homerun(or even base hit) to be around another year.
