WC MN | Are they trying to mimic the USDA's Sept. report or are they looking what the actual crop is going to end up at. I see they are usually lock step with USDA, but that put them off by same amount as USDA in 2010 from September to January.
They have Nebraska at 191, Minnesota at 187 and Iowa at 185. Not saying they are right or wrong but they seem high for MN and NE in my opinion.
At the same time in my part of the upper Midwest, the crop seems to be finishing awfully quickly. My farm has no doubt lost bushels of corn and soybeans to the dry and warm end to the season as well as disease. The early season wet and cold and the late season hot and dry will make this good but not great crop in my area. A lot of fields planted at 34,000 only have 26-28,000 harvestable ears. It seems to me all in all a yield somewhere closer to 2013 or a bit higher seems way more logical to me than a 2014 type national yield.
It will be very interesting to see where we end up in January on this one. | |
