It has been hot, windy and dry.. which is why we've got the crops planted vs last year.. For us it's speeding wheat harvest along.. we got a cool wet good grain fill a few weeks ago and the dryland looks decently good. We cut a little tonight but too immature and just not quite ready yet. However yield reports to our south are decently good.. West.. not so much.
The South West dryness is a concern. The ENSO cycle has been cooling.. but we may dodge La Nina..?? Or not??

If we are going into a 2011/12 type of event.. today's values seem more similar to 2010.. which actually was a pretty decent year if I recall.. late fall harvest.. good crop.. storage issues.
This may be the year to fill bins and wait?
It doesn't appear that we will trigger a La Nina yet.. unless it really dives and the values get changed.. possible.. but not likely that I can recall.
However, this isn't the only driver and it is hot and windy. here. so.. ???
