Cold ground up here means...still no crops in the ground. Translates to a shortage...the longer it takes to plant.

Around here in west central Missouri a few guys were slamming in corn for about 3 days. Then it got cold, froze, rained over 3 inches, snowed, froze a few more times and no corn up......nothing around me has been planted except for the corn that will be replanted.

On the lighter soils around us a lot of new seedings and small grains have been planted. For the most part the winter wheat, winter rye and alfalfa look very good this year. Wheat has been stooling a lot. Rye is hard to kill and it is good the alfalfa stands are thick as other feed costs will be high. I have not talked with any of the coop staff lately but with oil rising like it has fertilizer, chemicals etc. which use a lot of oil and energy will be rising too. I am sure land owners lending land to farmer will soon know that prices have risen significantly and will be asking for higher rents. Getting any crop in the ground here starting around mid-April is early for us.

Surprised no one dwelled on the corn raised for alcohol and High Fructose corn syrup here in the U.S. . 25% of the corn raised in this country is used for the alcohol production in ethanol per the Clean Air Act. As people emerge from their Covid cocoon they drive more and use more fuel (ethanol). There is no other (legal) option per a California judge's ruling over 20 years ago to add to gasoline to meet the standard. There have been several other cheaper additives that have been used but the expanded cleanup responsibility placed on the manufactures made it a potential company bankrupter.........Similar to making the firearm manufactures responsible for crimes committed with guns. That "sweet" decision has greatly influenced corn production in the U.S. and demand (no matter how politically motivated) still influences price. If the Chinees/Orientals, Europeans, Russians, Wall Street traders or whoever has the money,,,,,,, their purchase dictates the supply. As everyone stated above the price will be regulated by the demand (or its potential demand). My take...................... the mike

I am not a real farmer but Hyper inflation might have something to play in also

I was running prices on a 22 rifle I bought and built in April/May 2019 yesterday I have 427 2019 dollars in that setup yesterdays price would have been more than 607 dollars probably very close to 627 a 200 dollar change in 2 years a 68% increase


so I looked up May 14, 2019 gold spot price 1294.70 and todays spot price on gold 1831.81

1831.81 - 1294.70= 537.11 a 70.6% change


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

Around here it's to many deer. The deer just help themselves. In certain areas of most local fields the combines get quieter as less ears of corn run through from all the deer depredation.

Sorry for the delay Run but :stooling" is a term that is used when winter wheat breaks dormancy in the spring and with moist, cool spring weather there are many more shoots that will emerge and one gets more heads, thus more yield if the rest of the growing season is good. Winter wheat does not like hot dry weather until it is ready to ripen. Other grain crops can do that as well. Having right growth and conditions in the fall can have the crop go into dormancy setup for a good spring too. In our heavier clay soils with cooler springs and usually good spring moisture many of the better growers can get over 100 bu. per acre during good years. This is soft winter wheat, not hard red wheat and is not as high of quality as hard red wheat is.

"Cheap" is a relative term! Yes corn dropped about 80 cents on the market this week but closed at $6.85 which is about $3.40 higher than a year ago. $3.50 corn is probably too cheap to cover costs and manage a farm business but that is still about $120 per ton higher than a year ago and poultry, hogs, dairy and beef use a lot of corn or products that are price driven by corn. If corn continues to drop some more, we may see some adjustments in the meat and product markets but those dropped as well. Could be all aspects of the market were overbought, much like stocks are many times. The bigger news is that China is looking at quite a bit lower economic growth then originally thought and in today's world that impacts commodity markets a lot. When we have a drier spring and planting is ahead of normal and early this impacts the markets. If the nation's drought watch continues to worsen or deepen than that market very well may recover and what we are looking at today are very low numbers. The best way to limit demand and ration out supply is to raise the prices and just maybe that is working.

Corn can be bought a year or two before use . Lots of chance to lock in a cheap price.

And hopefully one can deliver at the price locked. Floods, droughts, sometimes tough to deliver locked in pirce volume.

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

An awful lot of black gold (canola) going in the ground here. My dads farm is 90% canola this year. Last I heard it was $24 a bushel.
