Thanks Jim - I heard the same from an Ohio farmer just across the border with Indiana

Vomitoxin is rearing it's ugly head in the Eastern Cornbelt. I'm hearing levels that eclipse what we saw in 2009 and 2014, upwards of 50 ppm in corn. For reference, pigs start to refuse feed and vomit at 1 to 2 ppm.

People weren't buying your 168 when you first trotted it out a few weeks ago, but as the combines roll I bet you're getting more believers

This week's #corn condition index score slips a point to 331, versus 353 a year ago, and vs the long-term avg for the week of 358. My yield model falls 1 bushel to 168.0 bushels per acre. #oatt
This chart is a sobering reality check on our demand picture. And this is ALL imports so it's not like China is avoiding the U-S to buy corn and soybeans from our competitors
Quote Tweet
#China is importing much smaller volumes of agricultural goods than a year ago as the slow economy has curbed demand. Through August, 2022 #corn imports were down 21%, #soybeans down 9%, #wheat down 10% and #pork down 64%.

WOW!!! Even if ya split the difference between that and USDA's latest at 175, we just blew past "tight"

Pro Farmer pegs U.S. #corn yield at 168.1 bu/acre and #soybeans at 51.7 bu/acre. USDA was 175.4 and 51.9 earlier this month. Pro Farmer puts the corn crop at 13.759 bln bu and soy at 4.535 bln bu.

Surprised - but not really - so few Americans have no clue about Russian invasion or the global repercussions Overfed, ignorant narcissists' will sit on the couch, crack another beer and yell at the TV about $4 & $5 gas prices

Tense moment at the UN Security Council emergency meeting right now: Ukraine ambassador stares dead in the eyes of the Russian ambassador asking him to go on the record and say that Russia will not bomb Ukrainian cities. Russian ambassador stays silent.

He IS off badly, but he has been for 3 yrs. Always chooses to swing for the fences with towering rainbows at the expense of wide open TE's that get 1st dns after the catch. Move the damn chains!!
Quote Tweet
How many times did he throw to the wrong receiver? And holding the ball and being pushed down late? He is off. Badly. twitter.com/ColinCowherd/s…
Like Dunlap the SEA 'D' has a lot of UNDER achieving talent. Hire Mike Singletary as DEF Co and Assist Head Coach. When Pete retires make him head coach. Look how he fixed the San Fran mess that went SB next year

The Carlos Dunlap re-signing has not worked out as hoped fieldgulls.com/2021/12/1/2281
Never had less fun as a fan. Russ misses open short routes to move chains and balance Time of Poss. DEF scheme gives up way too much yardage and Time of Poss. Number of 3 and outs is shocking
Quote Tweet
Okay, likely my final Seahawks tweet of the night, but a simple one. I’ve never seen Russ having less fun playing football in his life. That’s all
Winning comes with right decisions on the field. Break down the tape and tell me he's making the best decision on more than 50% of the plays. Time of possession has been embarrassing.

Replying to @BrockHuard
He wants to win and the only way that happens is he gets out . I think u know the answer
Ya gotta ask - is it a lack of talent or a lack of an effective scheme. DEF scheme is on coaching, but on offense RPO decision making is on the QB. Choose to scramble like your hair is on fire and throw low percentage rainbows is a perfect way to blow up any scheme.

Replying to @BrockHuard
Never thought I would say this but.. Think it’s time for big changes in the coaching staff…. Shane Waldron should be fired tomorrow.. Pete should get one more year…. That’s it.. if no playoff win he should be let go… and I hate saying that.

My son called about a Hillsboro flatbed for his truck. Not to bad only a 60 month wait on one. This bullshit is absolutely destroying our country people and some of you idiots aren’t even smart enough to see it. Cut the government payments and get your lazy asses back to work!!

Grab a minute to follow the link in this post and listen to the interview with Arlen. Some pretty good stuff regarding weather over the summer months.

@ArlanFF101 with @StoneX_Official joins the @FontanelleSeed Final Bell on Wednesday. Suderman highlights why USDA may not change production all that much tomorrow. Along with what the GFS and Euro models are trying to highlight for future weather. ruralradio.com/krvn/news/the-

Much has been made of the dryness in ND, SD & MN, but note that central Iowa has been the 8th driest on record since April 1st, while northeast Iowa is the 5th driest. They largely had enough topsoil moisture to bring the crop up, but moisture beyond that is lacking. #corn #oatt

This has been developing for awhile. Wondering how much of the delay has to do with global shipping and transportation issues we've seen over the past 3-6 months...
Quote Tweet
If bigger volumes aren't seen soon, the market will start to get anxious over whether China plans to take all this corn in 20/21, push some to 21/22, or cancel orders. Rolling to 21/22 will reduce the 20/21 exports from expectations and instill doubts about 21/22 intentions.

Amazing what's going on in North Dakota... 200% of Spring rain needed to replenish soils...tall order!

The #drought situation is not looking good in North Dakota, and it's creating some tough decisions for farmers and ranchers to make this early in the season. @SaueressigKim @AgWebEditor agweb.com/news/crops/cor

For any who believe "fake news" is a joke, watch CBS spin the truth. C'mon, grow up and seek the truth.

WATCH: CBS and @60Minutes excluded context from Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in which he explains the steps his government took to make the decision to partner with Publix on vaccine distribution. The 60 Minutes version is first, followed by the full answer from DeSantis.
