The states that don’t meant much are more prone to weather scares. But the three I states and holding corn longer in the bin will kill any yield reduction


I think this year proved the non-I states do indeed matter. It was exceptional yields in those states that helped the average push up.
I doubt many would bet on a bumper crop in 26 for the western belt.
We might not be great either. We are dry but pretty unusual for us not to recharge in the next two months.
Time will tell. Good luck to everyone.
