Death comes to us all. Life's but a walking shadow | Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Here's some more from Genscape. Can people from the various areas verify the results?
August 8, 2013 – Louisville, KY - On August 6, the Genscape LandViewer team released its corn supply predictions to clients, putting the corn supply to at least 12.6 billion bushels. The LandViewer team is not ready to commit to the 14 billion bushels anticipated by the USDA or other predictions as high as 14.3 billion bushels made by other crop advisory groups.
“For the supply to meet the high predictions from groups like the USDA, contributions from historically highly productive county-clusters would be necessary, and that doesn’t seem likely,” said Dr. Steffen Mueller, senior director of Genscape’s LandViewer group.
These traditionally highly productive county-clusters, such as many counties in northern Iowa and southern Minnesota, show severe problems this year. In addition to modeling analysis, the LandViewer team has conducted multiple ground verification trips and has surmised that these problem areas will not likely recover to the level necessary to help the country meet the USDA’s total supply estimate. In addition, the national corn crop is an average of three weeks behind, and it will have much higher risk for frost exposure.
