Luke Pearson AFM

Soils became supersaturated after the storm on June 30th that dropped up to 4″ of rain along with some hail and high winds.

A USDA report published June 30th indicated surplus corn inventory is building. Coupled with a crop conditions report indicating 75% of the nations crops are in good to excellent condition the markets dropped dramatically.
