Report From The Heartland
I have spent most of the time since Saturday in Kansas City, Minneapolis and Fargo. I have seen a lot of water, both in overflowing rivers and standing in the fields.
Our 200+ acres of corn north of Kansas City looks great but my farm partner will most likely lose 400 or mores acres due to the Missouri River overflowing the levee.
Driving through Southern Minnesota reminds me of the saying “knee high corn by the Fourth of July”. In Southern Minnesota his year there will be a lot of ankle high or no corn by the Fourth.
It will be interesting to see how markets react to the June 30 stocks report tomorrow. Stay tuned.
