Comments: |
| The crop prices have continued their downward trend into the summer. May, June and July are usually the months with the highest prices but so far this year that is not the case. Price weakness comes from a poor European economy, a large South American soybean crop, and above average crop conditions. Crops are healthy and in good condtion to produce excellent yields. A good 1 inch rain fell late last week to put an end to a small dry spell we were having. The 2010 growing season has been nearly perfect so far. |
