Food prices are going to go through the roof by August.

Total Catastrophe For U.S. Corn Production: Only 30% Of U.S. Corn Fields Have Been Planted – 5 Year Average Is 66%

[Cedar]

No corn for food? Plant potatoes, tomatoes, string beans. :)

[neverevergiveup]

I have the deepest respect for those who toil in fields and grow our food. That said, this is the 21st century, and I would think that we would have the technological ability to adapt to issues such as this.

[Newbomb Turk]

There is an over abundance of corn so I wouldn't get to worried about it having much effect on food prices. California should have water for crops this year too is they don't let it all run into the ocean.

China isn't buying pork, corn or soybeans right now because of the trade war so farmers are hurting but if grain prices would double it would help out the farmers and every other ag related business and that all trickles down to other businesses in small farming communities.

They’ll get it in. Wont be long duration corn though so production will fall off.

They got till last of June. But, all the river bottoms will most likely not be planted at all.

[Moonman62]

Stop putting corn in our gas tanks. Problem solved.

[digger48]

Probable at about 1% or less in my area.

Some of the most productive row crop land in the country that doesn’t require irrigation

Farmers are a bit...”irritable” right now. To say the least.

We need a good 3-5 days of perfect drying weather and they will still be planting around standing water

[Old Yeller]

Most of Oklahoma and Kansas are under water.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

Trump should declare a national emergency and commandeer Pelosi’s vineyard for corn planting. Transcropping, yeah, that’s the ticket.

[Chode]

so they'll plant 90 day corn instead of 120 day

[redgolum]

Futures are down.

Or they were.

This keeps up a lot of red states will be blue in 2020.

we’re all going to die

[northislander]

Jimmy cracked corn and didn’t care...now this

[Reno89519]

CLIMATE CHANGE!!! But not global warming. The Trump Minimum. Figure we might as well call it that as the media will blame this on Trump.

[cpdiii]

It is called weather. However today if it is hot, cold, wet or dry they say it is global warming. It is just normal weather patterns repeating what they have done for many years.

[C210N]

It is my understanding we should be planting much more plantain.

And, much less white cauliflower.

[Oscar in Batangas]

Is there a market play here, or are those of us on the outside too late (as usual)

[TomGuy]

More rain storms tonight central OK thru KS thru northern MO into IL.

El Reno, OK has a tornado earlier. Amount of damage undermined.

Then tarrifs on exports to China won’t matter.
