Luke Pearson AFM

Weed control was the major activity this week. Some beans have been replanted due to crusting soils. Side dressing of Nitrogen has began in most areas. More rain is predicted this week. Excessive precipitation is something everyone will be watching for closely.

Good growing conditions and limited new news in the market is putting pressure on the markets. This is a normal market trend for this time of year.
