| Hey Triple Nickel, something just occurred to me. I planted a farm to corn on June 16, 2008. (Easy to remember, it's my parents wedding anniversary.) It didn't have to be corn, I was done with all my other corn. It was fall chiseled cornstalks, it was supposed to get planted to beans, but conditions had gotten really good after a spell of mud and I decided to roll the dice on some really late corn. It was a gorgeous picket fence stand, and yielded about 140 bpa. Off the pace of earlier corn that year, but far from terrible.
December 2008 corn futures closed at $7.65 on June 16, 2008.
Just for some of those asking about what sort of incentive really makes somebody want to plant June corn. |
