send some of that rain here to Las Vegas! we haven’t seen rain in over a year!

Here in S.E. Michigan we finally had a storm come thru this afternoon for about 10 minutes. Then like a Democrap with promises, it was gone and the sun came back out........

Anyone supporting the ethanol propaganda are going to be really disappointed in our state's corn production........No water means no corn. I haven't seen any reports but I have to believe that our corn growers are really suffering if they don't have artifical irrigation systems.

Most of the sweet corn in my area comes from local farmers who have fields between subdivisions and don't have the luxury of irrigation. They are really going to be hurting as will be their consumers........

Maybe, but the exponentially expanded corn planting here in Arkansas, overall, is doing very well. We saw corn in Texas (in areas that use to be cattle ranches) that looked beautiful.

Lots of corn in Mississippi doing pretty well from what I saw last week...

Is Michigan a major player in the corn market?

That’s fine. That just means tortillas in Mexico will cost more and cause more illegals to cross the border.
