I know there's a lot of the cornbelt that is hurting.. and a lot of damage done.  But this time last year.. these guys were baking in day after day of 100+ heat.. some even 110 heat..

Look at what they are doing this year..

There are some "decent" rain reports coming out of some dry areas..to my west.. some are even thinking about the need for a combine now on dryland acreage... "yal Dog!"

I may not be that fortunate "here" too early to tell.. but this drought is improving in the area's that were hit the hardest last year.. and that gives all of us hope for the future.

I guess this song sums up my feelings best

Just got to hang in there and slug it out..

ps.. I still believe we are gonna beat 12.3.. who knows.. maybe even 13.. 

Mizzou Tiger I don't have a problem with you.. but talking the crop size down is making me nervous about holding our demand base together.. we WILL PROVIDE ENOUGH FOR ALL THAT IS NEEDED... BANK IT!!

pss..
