@MarketToMarket @cer_hedge It seems every time the market starts to recover the USDA puts out another bogus report based on out dated information and surveys, most of Illinois is in a drought while states to the west and north of Illinois have been flooded but the market crashes

We are producing the program today - any commodity questions for the good of the group? @cer_hedge is in this week. I'll take inquiries until noon central. -Paul

@GrainStats I wish Illinois could have some, we are burning up

@GrainPhD My crops are burning up from the drought in East central Illinois after a wet on top and dry underneath spring, now 90’s and no rain

Commodity prices including corn, beans and wheat are lower due to concerns about demand. See more at hubs.ly/Q02C1skn0 #grains #commodities #marketoutlook #stevefreed #video

@StandardGrain @YouTube He screwed us over once and he is on track to do it again, he feeds on chaos, it keeps his name on the news

@StandardGrain @YouTube @chief321 @kenziej89 @AgMarket_Net If we are swimming in corn, why are the grain merchants offering free DP so soon to get their hands on some

@chief321 Not at all impressed by the show

@MarketToMarket @futurescashinfo Only parts of Illinois had timely rains , I had some clouds but didn’t get rain,

How would @futurescashinfo manage marketing live cattle? She gives her advice in Market Plus. iowapbs.org/shows/mtom/mar…

@ckleene Don’t worry, if it starts to go up USDA will put out a bogus report to destroy the market. Anything to keep cheap food and try to control inflation, even tough it’s oil and energy and shipping and high labor costs that caused it , the government goes after the working class.

Despite Brazil soybean production being sub 130 MMT (sarcasm) we may never see $13 Jan beans again in my lifetime.

@FarmPolicy It was better than I thought it was going to be , BUT it was 25 to 50 bushels short of what I normally grow on corn and soybeans ranged from 4 to 84 from one end of the field to the other

American farmers produced a #corn record crop even though there was relatively scant rainfall in parts of the Corn Belt and some of the hottest temperatures ever seen during the growing season. It shows that modern seed technology can still thrive in adverse conditions bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

@chief321 @AgMarket_Net Corn is nosed back and small kernels, soybeans are dying from lack of moisture and the heat and no new blooms and starting to turn yellow, it looks to be a below average year, missing the rains in the Rardin area

@jasonlbritt We are burning up in Coles county Illinois

Better see higher crop ratings today with all the talk from improvements from the rain last week, because they are falling like a rock next Monday if these current conditions and forecast holds true. #corn #soybeans.

@FarmPolicy I only had .6” in Coles county Illinois

Month To Date Observed Precipitation

@FarmPolicy I hope this is for next week because we didn’t get it in the last 14 days, 6 tenths on the 9 th of August was all of it, Coles county Illinois is dry

14- Day Observed Precipitation

@jacobdickeywx Rardin area missed the rain again, we are in desperate need of rain

RAINFALL REPORTS: Here's a look at select rainfall reports via viewers, NWS and other sources. How much did you receive? #cILwx #ILwx #WCIA

@ScottIrwinUI East central Illinois keep missing the rains, clouds blow by but nothing , corn ears are denting and shucks are turning

Interesting map. I just got back from driving across Iowa on I80 and then out to our farms NW of DSM about 50 miles. At least in WC IA, the crops are fantastic. My windshield impression is that crops are OK all the way across I80 and I74 to Champaign. Of course, have to really get in the fields to know true yield potential.

@chief321 The radar kept showing rain but it didn’t

@chief321 I pulled back the shucks on some April 11 th corn and they were nosed back 2 to 3 inches in north east Coles County, the drought took its toll I am afraid.

Both

@SusanNOBULL It was hard to sell $5.69 new crop 2023 corn when it was $6.69 old crop and the war was still raging on and planting was slow due to cold weather and stocks where low and the drought is still on, but the government wants cheap food

Why didn’t I sell 110% of my crop when CZ23 spent the entire month of February in the 590s?

@hendricksonfarm At least you don’t have to sit and wait for a technician to come out to find out which sensor is keeping it from starting , I hate computers on tractors, they cause me more downtime than I ever had before

Most farms keep getting newer equipment, ours is going in reverse haha
