@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
@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.
@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
@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
@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
@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.
@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
@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
