Yellowhoard,

I thought the same thing, even though I'm not in the Midwest... I can look at a soil moisture chart and know if I see a problem. I can't imagine how any non-irrigated field in Iowa is producing anything.

Maybe they are only surveying the irrigated farmland...?

I was raised on a farm, and will always be a hog calling country boy shining the dustbowll farming blues sinig up through these city slicker shoes. I follow the farm reports and weather forecasts as a matter of keepoing in touch with the land and people that ai love so well. Here is a site thqt ai follow if you want a perspective on the current soil conditions and yield and weather forcast. http://bit.ly/ObmWsw

Damage is done. I'm not a farmer, but I grew up with farmers and they'll tell you that no amount of mild weather and rain will fix this now.

Big profits in a corn play may be near an end, but chicken is just corn with feathers and beef & pork is corn with a moo and an oink. All that stuff will be the next market to make a buck in.because of high corn prices.
