Nov 24, 2020

Agronomy, Crop Management, Grain, Market Update, Soybean, Technology

Picking the right soybean to plant has become more challenging. COVID shut off plot tours and limited hands on opportunities to learn. The 2019 (early snowstorm) and 2020 (wet planting and early frost) growing seasons did not provide us with great performance information. Each of you are trying to predict what trait platform will be… Read More

Nearing the end of harvest across the U.S., corn and soybean markets continue to rally, with spring wheat holding steady to slightly mixed.

Agronomy, Crop Management, Grain, Market Update, Soybean, Technology

One thing that never seems to be in short supply on the farm is stress. Whether it’s prices or weather, there’s always something to worry about. And that worry, stress and anxiety—knowing the difference and where to find resources for help when and where you need them—is the topic of this month’s blog post. Because,… Read More

SOYBEANS Nov 2020 Soybeans up around 15 cents on the week. Causes are numerous but these are our favorites: AGGRESSIVE buying from the Chinese (call it 20+ boats sold) as they need the soybeans and call Brazil around 50-60 cents more expensive into China than PNW execution until March when the Brazilian crop should be… Read More

Market Update

Aug 14, 2020

Agronomy, Crop Management, Grain, Market Update, Soybean, Technology

We had some higher markets this week due to decent responses to the WASDE on Wednesday and then the aftermath from the FSA data dump on Wednesday afternoon. Between the two events, CZ20 rallied 19 cents on the high and is currently hanging out around 15 cents higher than the 10:50 am low on Wednesday.… Read More

GRAIN COMMENTS Grain/Soy markets continue to focus on the nearly PERFECT weather for most of the US. Call US corn yield 176.5 to 179 (maybe even 181), with beans somewhere between 50 and 52. So the production side looks intact for the time being. Perhaps old Chip Flory can get a modest rally with some… Read More

After getting through the simply classic July 4th week weather market, we now have some exciting things going on in the grain complex. Things are starting to feel a bit more demand-led.  CORN  As expected, the WASDE did not give us anything out of the ordinary. Those expecting a yield drop because of some pineapple pics on Twitter DID not do their homework… Read More

Pre-WASDE Comments

Jul 9, 2020

Agronomy, Crop Management, Grain, Market Update, Soybean, Technology

To say that we have a lot going on in the markets is an understatement. We have heat domes, Chinese purchases of corn and soybeans (maybe even wheat?) and concerns on crops in the Black Sea region. Given all this action, we wanted to cover at least the basics and talk about the WASDE report… Read More
