Nathan Deters AFM

A much drier week in the area has been very beneficial to both corn and soybeans. Many of the bean fields are gaining there color back and some fields are drying out enough to be replanted. There are still a few areas that still have standing water and very saturated soils, but continued dry and hot weather will make a huge difference.

The markets have been mainly trending downward since last weeks report. There are no foreseeable rally points in the near future.
