We finally got a break in the weather for a few days, with a huge jump in average daily temperatures. That was accompanied by wind in some areas, amplifying the soil drying effect.  Producers put their new GPS equipped planters to work 18 hours a day or more in some cases, and got a lot of seed in the ground.

Forecasts for feed grains & oilseeds foresee significant expansion of global ending stocks surpluses if current weather forecasts are accurate. That is a pretty big “if” as we learned in 2012, but it probably isn’t wise to bet the farm on yet another crop disaster.
