 Cotton only 42% GD/EX compared to 61% a year ago. TX/OK/MO in double digit P/VP from the severe drought.

NEW with this post

Crop ratings this afternoon will drop a bit(my guess) maybe 1-2% but still be very high.

Rains Sunday may not have come in time to help the ratings for this afternoon but they came in plenty of time to help the crop and the week after that.

Ratings in MO and AR will drop.

As stated over the weekend watch SMN and the 200 day moving avg. It would fill the daily chart gap

Exports inspections just out:

Not bad for corn but down a bit from last week.

Up a bit for beans

Up a bit for wheat.

Not what the market is trading however

We are having enough rains already in the rain gauges that are dialed into the price with future rains going to be less and less here, that I think we could get some support pretty soon.

SX has now dropped over 80c and CZ almost 40c.

The latest forecasts "may" start trending drier. If that happens, we can start going back up.

However, this is not the time of year to be long unless the market feels there is a potential threat to the crop.

Forecasts trending drier, if that continued would qualify as the start of a threat. 

Don't take this as a suggestion to buy now but do follow my updates as I will try to objectively report changes in the weather(which effects the markets) in timely fashion.

There is a monthly USDA report out tomorrow at 11am CDT. Here is the USDA calendar:

Today, at 3pm they release their WEEKLY crop progress report with the ratings. It looks like you can hit the blue letters below and go to it directly from the forum.........if its been updated.

Crop condition about as I expected.

https://release.nass.usda.gov/reports/prog2418.txt

Corn -1% to 77% GD/EX

Beans -1% to 74% GD/EX

Still very high ratings.

Cotton GD/EX stayed the same but P/VP increased 5%.........TX/OK

Spring Wheat stlll 70% GD/EX
