perhaps an 8 billion bushel corn crop

Well what do you think with this heat and drought we will be lucky to have 50 bushels to the acre

The USDA will likely keep their estimates pumped up to keep prices calm.

Checked some of my oats today. Nice looking crop, but the heads are almost empty - they didn't fill out worth a darn. Wonder if other crops are going to be slim as well. Orchard owners here in Michigan are going to have a pretty poor showing. Early spring and later hard frost destroyed the fruit.

Right. Another natural disaster our Uncle Sam won't be ready for. It's funny how they never save for a rainy day.

Was terribly wet for us here in southern MN, finally getting to where a little rian would be nice, but the tile lines are still running.

Feel for you all that are so dry.

Just baled the hay off the swamp today, finally got the tile issue 1/2 fixed, and it dried off enough to drive on mostly. Had wet tires a few times, but the hay was pretty dry. Finally had a day without breakdowns, went well.

Visited the fields 8 miles north of me that had hail, beans are either replanted or jst bare, can see fuzzy stumps where the bean rows used to be. Some of the corn is actually trying to come back, but there are fields that just not much at all is there. Heard folks 'happy' they only had 25% damage to their corn. That was a big ugly hail storm a little over a week ago.

Going to be an interesting marketing year. If you have crop to market.... Seems corn always dies out at $7, buyers cut back, or switch to wheat or other. If prices stay thia high & higher, imagine how much South America will be planting.

Tho, the world might need everything it can get...

around NE IN and NW OHIO area yeaterday I noticed a lot of corn shooting tassles, the tallest of which was maybe 4 feet tall, and shorter. I don't think we will be setting any yield records around here.

No, might dip to as low as 100 bu/acre average, but not 50.

Maybe I'd better take a closer look at my oats. They're starting to turn,look excellent from the road.
I talked to Dave at the fair Friday,said he'd been running the binder in his wheat. Said there were still some green spots.
