Chad Husman AFM

The rain continues to fall making it tough to replant the flooded areas. It is too lake to replant corn, but soybeans
could be replanted with reduced yield prospects.

IF your farm has good drainage the crops probably look very good. Areas with poor drainage or along bodies of water are either flooded out completely or the crops are struggling in saturated soils.

The markets are not reacting to the wet season. As the saying goes “Rain makes grain”.
