We are thankful for global warming, since without it, conditions would be much colder & wetter.
An interesting statement in the article is that the tariff relief for 2018 corn is 1 cent per bushel. Unfortunately for the farmer, this is difficult or impossible to collect due to the government strike.
We’re behind but catching up. Gotta good stretch of weather coming up in these parts. Should be done in a week or two. Might be harvesting on ice.

If it wasn’t for climate change, it would have been samer and less changey.
One way to beat the Chicoms is to starve them out. We need them less than the other way around.
Flooding in a lot of plains states this year have killed off a lot of cattle and made planting anything impossible for now.
That’s not what the report I got from Clarence Beeks says.
I miss the days when every family had land and a small farm. Fed the whole family with nourishing meals and enough to can for the winter season. Even could help a neighbor or passing stranger if need be.
Well, for one thing if there’s less corn you could stop making ethanol and burning food.
I was in central Iowa a little over a week ago, and there were lots of news reports about how the cool weather and ponding in the fields were really making the farmers nervous. Most of them have already committed to their acreage and crop planting plans and can’t afford to change them much.
More rain today in KS and NE, both of which are waterlogged. Sunshine and dry weather the next 14 days is critical.
Non-anthropogenic Global Cooling is not going to be quite as pleasant for humanity as anthropogenic Global Warming would have been.
Along the Mo and Miss rivers there most likely wont be any crops planted this season.
Friend up in Wisconsin says that there is very few trying to work the ground. Even the hay is bad.
NW Mo is at abt 90% planted and the corn is up. Now if it doesnt drown.
Looks like 80 day corn for a lot of farmers...if they even get a chance to work the ground.
Drove through Iowa on I80 today.
Don’t remember eastern IA
Central IA looked like it had been planted, but rain has washed out some areas and flooded others.
Western IA looked like the corn had sprouted and could go on to do well.
That's a caca statement, and it makes zero sense. Both the political and economic environment are outstanding, so neither should play a part in the situation whatsoever.
49%? Not bad. I’ve planted 0% because of our weather, in my garden
GlobalWarming is too cold to plant on time this year.
It’s snowing and below freezing here in CO. GlobalWarming sucks!
Corn prices need to come up further to reflect the delayed and lost planting
“The Erf has a feva”
I have seedlings bursting at the seams to be planted outside but there's little warmth, little sun, and and it's wet.
Many of my seedlings are showing signs of stress. If they don't get into the ground soon and get warmth and full sun soon they're not going to thrive.
It's a bloody shame because this year I have almost perfected the art of growing seedling.
It's going to be wasted year of breeding from heirloom seeds.
You can't plant seed in a flooded field in the mid-West
Flooding has resulted in loss and a reduction of livestock.
Last known, there was a virus affecting Chinese pork production
All of these factors put a hurting on farmers and food production, which may result in higher prices.
Plan accordingly...
