One of the coolest things I’ve learned at Normandy is about Lt. Col. Robert “Bull” Wolverton, commander of 3rd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division, who said to his men before their jump 🪂:

Men, I am not a religious man and I don't know your feelings in this matter, but I am going to ask you to pray with me for the success of the mission before us.

And while we pray, let us get on our knees and not look down but up with faces raised to the sky so that we can see God and ask his blessing in what we are about to do.

God almighty, in a few short hours we will be in battle with the enemy.

We do not join the battle afraid.

We do not ask favors or indulgence but ask that, if You will, use us as your instrument for the right and an aid in returning peace to the world.

We do not know or seek what our fate will be.

We ask only this, that if die we must, that we die as men would die, without complaining, without pleading and safe in the feeling that we have done our best for what we believed was right.

Oh Lord, protect our loved ones and be near us in the fire ahead and with us now as we pray to you.

India is considering buying US corn for ethanol. A rumor but a good one. India represents approx. 13% of US #ethanol exports. Ethanol is mentioned in the stalled US/India tariff talks but more corn disappearance to support local production is always positive.

[Karen Braun @kannbwx]

🌽It's a record.

As of Sept. 18, U.S. corn export sales for 2025/26 stood at 25.76 million metric tons (1.01 bln bu), the date's largest volume in modern record keeping.

That surpasses Sept. 18, 2021, when China accounted for 48% of 2021/22 sales. None to China for this year.

🇺🇸2025 marked the driest August across the U.S. corn and soybean belt since 2013.

The world's top 2 exporters (U.S. & Brazil) may have just produced big crops, but global demand for #corn remains strong, with global stocks to use ratios in decline over the past decade due to that strong demand. #oatt

With 82.3 mbu of weekly new crop ('25/'26) #corn sales, cumulative totals remain roughly double last year's pace and are now only 2.7% (~20 mbu) behind 2021's record pace.

If we see 66 mbu of '25/'26 #corn sales on next week's report, we will break said record. #oatt

JUST IN: Illinois Governor JB Pritzker goes mute after Rep. Brandon Gill stumps him on his previous tweet about men in women's bathrooms.

Gill: Do you think men should be allowed in women's restrooms?

Pritzker: I'm not sure why this has come to this issue.

Gill: You tweeted: 'As a protest against President Trump, everyone should use the other gender's bathroom today.' Have you ever used the women's restroom?

Pritzker: Not that I can recall.

Gill: So you just wanted everybody else to do it, but you didn't?

Pritzker: ...
