Crop scout call me and gave yield est. today and he is usually thinking we
will hit the moon (up beat), but he was so depressed I about died. When he is disappointed and calling for ave or less
corn I get nervous because I'm conservative and try to be surprised. He even
said it was most of the fields he was
checking NOTHING GOING TO BREAK RECORDS and he covers all kinds of farms and farmers. …

Colby, KS
I would have to agree with the summary
"average or
less". This year is going to
remind us that 240 bushel irrigated and 150 bushel dryland corn is ABOVE
AVERAGE.
I'm expecting my irrigated to go
190-200 (which is excellent for me as my APH is
160. Finally have some ways to battle my nematodes.) Expecting dryland in the 80-120 range, with about 75% of it being 100-120.

Our crop scout's latest report confirmed what I was seeing when I went out
to take stalks for nitrate tests. Across the board we're looking at 0-50 bu/ac. This will make the 4th year in-a-row we've tried--and failed--at a corn crop. …

From an e-mail today;
Revenna, MI
No tipping back on dry-land corn. Best crop we’ve ever had by far.
Good thing we’ve learned not to trade the crop in our backyard. Fields
we’ve done so far (in Michigan, which is two weeks earlier than
we’ve ever harvested) yielding 175-180 bushels
near Bloomington 214 vs. 235 last
year, near Hillsboro IL 190 same as last
year. corn coming running 14.5 to 22% moisture.
Comments from farmers running 20 to 40 bu.
below last year. Corn on Corn seems to
be much of the early Corn.
90 acres @190 bpa dry. 10 bpa better than last year. 24% moisture.
Rolling ground planted April 12th.
Minonk ..70 ac yc on yc…175
30 ac corn on beans at 200
IN beans
WC IN: Fountain Co: 70 acres: 55 bpa avg
Kokomo, IN low 60's Expects later beans to be better than that
West Central IN: Carroll Co. Two 150 ac fields. One went 63 and the
other 68. Above average by 3-5 bu/ac
Fountain Co. 80 acres 63 bu/ac. Close to or at a record and 5-7
bu above average.
S of Taylorville IL
Last year 230
Expecting 210
Getting 180
SE of champaign IL 180-210 same as last year
W of Farmer City 131 vs 200 year ago
E. Cent IN 9% moisture, yields in the high 60’s, about 4bpa better than
average. Yield monitor running between 55-85bpa. Farmer said one of his
best bean crops ever…thus far.
Keokuk, IA The fellow just picked twenty acres. Came out of the field 180 at 26%
moisture, which converts to 156 bushels at 15% moisture. Test weight, at 26%,
was 54 lbs, which at a dry weight of 15% moisture should pick up another 3.5
lbs TW
The farmer was happy, as he pegged it at 135 bu/acre. He had some 09’
corn to blend, so he decided to pick a few acres early. 3” of rain in
the county last night with more on the way tonight. With cool temperatures on
the way it will be a while before any more reports roll in.
Halfway between Indy/Cincy, 30a went 10% moisture, yield near 66.5bpa. 3.1
maturity. Producer said yield was average to above average and noted green
leaves and some green pods in the mix.
New Berlin, IL
170 bpa, 194bpa and 153bpa , dry
Not sure field sizes but comment on the 170bpa was 240 LY *not sure if the
240 LY was a dry or not*
Drown out spots
Compaction problem
Working ground too wet
Fungicides helped and grain much better where applied
Some diplodia but does not sound as bad as LY
IL
Western Ford/Eastern McLean corn: 114 bpa, 143 bpa,
and 162 bpa. These yields come from
a farmer who has farms on about every kind of ground that we have in this
area (some rolling and some flat). (This guy would have had 180 to 195 bushel corn last year.)
IL
Monticello - 1st field (soil compaction issues) yielded 141 bpa, vs. 205 bpa last year.
Monticello - 2nd field (1 mile from 1st field, but with no
compaction issues) yielded 201 bpa, vs 205 bpa last year
Montezuma IN (west central) 158 better than expected
Sidney IL 138, 141 LY 211-247

Adrian MO
Yield reported 120 expected 140. this field was planted early received heavy rain
and had several low areas in the field that produced no corn...

Illinois
Graymont – 180

Gallantin Co. – 180-185
Stark county IL (Peoria) Disappointing: Corn finished 170 bushels/acre. Harvested at 21-24% Planting
conditions couldn't of been better. Just too much rain. The 2008 corn on the
same farm made 206 bushels/ac. Hopefully the beans will yield as good as they

I didn't take all that much math in HS, but in order for IL to make that USDA mandated 180 bu/A, isn't
someone in IL going to have to start coming up with some huge numbers to offset the little numbers thus far?

Gut tells me that the USDA is going to
hold onto 165 as long as possible. While it may come down a bit, look at the crop ratings, not moving. They have no need to get aggressive until things get closer to year
end. This wheat thing is real, no need to get people excited in corn yet.
As for reality, still think we are NO HIGHER THAN 160 MAYBE LOWER, and the soy number
might be there, but I see a lot of pods on the
ground, several 2's and 3's instead of 3's and
4's, and fields are turning, might make the soybean number interesting later on.

In order to avoid appearing totally the buffoon, UncleSam gonna hafta trim the fuzz off
its previous heavy hairy guess. To salvage any credibility, the drunken goobermint might incline to more align with the more
sobering independent estimates now. It is my opinion that absolutely any mere hint of USDA admission of the
reality on the ground will be interpreted as very bullish and will be bought with both hands. Thinking that
last night's thin trade stop flushing underneath is "all she wrote" for any meaningful
pullback. In other words, "Go Get 'Em!"

We also have areas of high
yielding potential that were never planted or planted to soybean. I do tend to agree, I expect a bearish surprise, USDA August number and total
production number ISN'T GOING DOWN WITHOUT A FIGHT.

I am also in the camp of USDA "finding" more acres to offset the
lower production numbers. IMO, the folks in charge
at USDA WILL DO EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO KEEP A SHORT-TERM LID ON THIS POWDERKEG
OF PRICES. "Finding" acres has been a
tool they have used in the past and I expect they could do it again.

franksville wi
The USDA held off last year forever
before they came around to admit that a bin they claimed had 100,000 bu only
had 92,000 because of bad test weight even though farmers were screaming it
from october on and this is what scares me the most. If they raise acres
it is kind of a joke because i can see numbers off for beans because guys
don't report some of the double crop and late planted ones but they have had
acreage reports since july for the corn on what we recorded with FSA and to change it now would seem kind of
like a farse.

I fully expect the USDA to put out

they do it to drive

The USDA, ie government is going to do anything it can to keep
a cap on food inflation. You talk about a political nightmare,
stale employment, generally poor economic policy, deflation on many consumer
goods, falling dollar, higher taxes, mid-term, thoughts of 2012 and then pile on inflationary prices in food ONLY. WHAMMY.
Why get in a hurry, USDA can drag it out and hope for a hail mary of
yield number in January. Otherwise commodity prices are off to the races. What will be interesting is, if grains stall here
for a couple of months and oil starts to get some leg and gets above 80 maybe
push 100 early next year......that will be interesting because I guarantee
grains are going to take off when we start trying to buy acres.
The corn number
isn't there, and I think the soybean number might surprise people in January too. A lot of people counted there beans before they
dropped or went flat. Cotton will buy more
acres, wheat is doing it. Corn carryout comes in low for sure, soya need
acres to stay in balance.
O, and one more thing. Even all the double
dipper, dooms day guys are saying that 2011 will be better on the street. Hell a pull back now in grains until Dec or Jan is only giving us time to load up
another powder keg on top of the two that are lit.
Let er eat!!!!!

I still don't buy the corn number. EVERYONE I'VE TALKED TO IS SEEING
MAJOR REDUCTIONS compared to averages.
20% less seems to be
the norm. The extended hot
period during June and July really hurt this
crop. (especially the hot nights)
When it is said and done, I bet the number is
mid to lower 150's for the average.
We started harvesting yesterday, and it was an eye-opener, IN A NEGATIVE WAY.
…
My reaction: My favorite comment: “USDA is not restrained by second grade
math rules.”
There is an INTENSE media campaign going on right now to cover the worsening
global food situation. This campaign involves:
1) “… but there is no food crisis.” As in:
“sure, people are rioting and dying over food prices in Africa…
but there is no food crisis.” Or, “sure, Russia has banned
exports until December 2011… but there is no food crisis.” Or,
“Sure, world food prices are soaring… but there is no food
crisis.” ETC…
2) COMPLETE media blackout of any news story bullish for
agriculture. Worse Grasshoppers infestation in 30 years? Not a word about it.
Heat decimating crops across the Midwest? Again, not a word about it. The
worst epidemics of SDS since the disease was found in Iowa in 1994?
Not… a… word…
3) Record breaking US supply. The nation's highest wheat yield ever. Record breaking soybean production. Etc…
Conclusion: Soaring prices, food riots, exports bans… looks like
the 2010 food crisis is well underway.
