n.c.iowa | No, not really, I know our local coop was moving grain south to a mill location just alittle bit north of the derecho area, primarily to alleviate storage issues on the north end of the trade territory, but I believe that they also might be concerned with being able to secure enough grain throughout the summer next year. I do know the processors south of us about 30 miles have some historically strong basis bids for this time of year so that should be telling me something, I guess.
I know there was a call out for baggers and bags at the beginning of the harvest, not sure what all come of that. But the problem of storage probably solved itself, so-to-speak, the yields in the affected area are from zero, to at the best of half of anticipated.
friends of ours in the northern part of the state were involved in a mini derecho( if there is such a thing) three weeks after the one in central Iowa. The corn was nearing, if not black layered so they are trying to get it picked up one way or another, they traded some acres with a dairy, so the plan was to round bale about 240 acres.
it sounded like it was something that they wouldn’t want to do again.. |
