#Corn tip-back issues arising rapidly east of the Mississippi due to record warm overnight lows?
This is from a long time partner of ours located across south-central Indiana. However, we are starting to hear this widespread this week.
What’s it like for you?

17th stop was in La Salle Co, Illinois. Samples so far in the state of Illinois are all below last years. Same story here. Not a bad crop by any means, but about 10 bu off of last year levels in this county. #OATT#cropwatch#croptour
The last prompt/nearby NOLA DAP barge traded $820 on 7/30.
This morning, Dec '26 corn is down to $4.4575/bushel.
That DAP/corn ratio is 184 which is the all-time high record based on our data.
I'm going to go sit in a corner and think about what we have done.
Washington D.C. officials, the American farmer could use your attention/help.
While many support a lot of what is being done globally, it is coming at a great loss to farming operations. Grain prices continue to fall as we lose export opportunities.
At the same time, inputs such as fertilizer continue to rise. The fight between Israel and Iran caused the world to lose the 3rd and 4th largest urea exporters to stop production. Phosphate is the highest price it has ever been vs grain values.
This situation where inputs are incredibly high and grains are incredibly low are putting enormous strain on the farming community. At the core of every country in the world, feeding its people remains the most important. Our farmers are incredibly resiliant, but everyone has a breaking point.
I cannot say that I know what the answer is, but your attention would be appreciated.
As you enjoy kick-off to summer this weekend with family and friends, join FCI in carving out time to honor those who have fallen while serving in the armed forces on this Memorial Day.

It's official:
The 10-year note yield is now up 100 basis points since the "Fed pivot" began in September.
In other words, while the Fed has CUT rates by 100 bps, rates in the market have RISEN by 100 bps.
Is this the biggest market to Fed disconnect in history?
