I thought so and the article makes that point. If crops are going in later than expected yields will be down and prices will be up. Still, the author’s examples look cherry picked to me. I looked at Iowa’s planting schedule and they are right in line with their 5 year trend.
Actually it doesnt matter what we produce, whether it is good or not good crops, supply and price is going to be manipulated by the speculators and the grain giants. You are going to pay or not eat whatever makes Cargill or ADM the largest profits, whether the farmer makes a nickel or not. It is as simple as that.
