Luke Pearson AFM

Some early season cold weather has shown up. Some herbicide carryover from chemicals applied in 2013. Also,nitrogen stress is becoming evident in many corn fields due to cold temperatures and some lack of moisture.

Long term forcasts are very favorable for excellent growing conditions causing prices to continue their downward slide. These patterns will continue until hot and dry weather develops.
