Around here the crops range from very good to miserable depending on the planting date and weather.About half of the corn in our immediate area is water damaged enough that I’m not sure it will make a crop.We just finished our wheat harvest here and only averaged 43.6 bushels per acre-had a lot of kill spots from flooding.The last quote that I heard from Iowa was a 9 percent loss of acreage for corn due to flooding.The USDA supply and demand report for July shows the same expected acres harvested on corn as the June report.Makes me question the validity of the July report.
Thanks for your report. It also struck me that what this report says is more upbeat than what many other reports and first-hand observers like you are saying.
