Comments: |
| More rain has hit our area causing more flooding and surface ponding in low lying areas. The weather has been hot and humid which has been fueling these storm fronts that continue to keep soil moisture at saturation due to all the rain. Crops look good on the hills and poor in the bottom ground. Yellow coloration on both the corn and soybeans is common on poorly drained areas due to the lack of oxygen. The markets have been volatile over the last 7 to 10 days with most of the movement up or down coming from good/poor US economic news and weather conditions. Both corn and soybean prices are down from there previous highs posted last week but have gained some strength today due to a weakened dollar. |
