It’s hard for me me to think of the high desert on the Mexican border as being in ‘drought’. It’s a dry climate that gets most of its little rain this time of year.
And, yep, it’s likely to be a record corn crop that’s selling below cost of most production. Probably record soybeans too.

A few years ago the drought was centered more on El Paso. Since then it has moved a bit NE into the TX and OK panhandle. Joe Bastardi said earlier this year that due to the the shift in the ocean temps in the Pacific that rain would fall west of I-35 (runs through the middle of OK, KS, TX, and northward). So far he was been correct. Slowly but surely it has rained more and more west of that interstate. He's thinking that a hurricane might even possibly run up in to Baja Mexico and into southern CA and AZ.

Might be a good time for corn lobbyists to prod the EPA to increase the ethanol mandate in gasoline. Can’t have a bumper crop reduce food prices. /s
