Jesup, IA | Of course, the subject line is tongue-in-cheek.
Last week I drove from NE IA, through MN and took in a day of the Big Iron Show in Fargo. The next day I visited farmer friends at Wahpeton and out by Bismark. I came home through Aberdeen, then down I29 to Sioux Falls, and across MN on I90.
From what I saw south of Fargo to Sioux Falls, then across S MN, I'm not sure all of those beans are going to make their full potential even with a warm forecast and a normal frost date. There sure were a lot of green, green fields. Things looked farther along in Central ND than the RRV
So even with these lousy prices, what if the market had already dialed in all those acres being too late to be very good? Then the "early" frost failed to be as widespread and damaging as the models said a week ago. So tonight maybe a few more acres have a chance to move out of the "likely to fail" category? And so we move lower?
BTW, who's places did I drive by? And I knew soybeans had pushed out wheat and sunflowers, but I didn't realize how many acres of "beans on beans" are grown in ND. How long can that last before SDS, White Mold, etc, take that option off the table?

Maybe the crop actually got bigger this weekend?
