MARCH 29, 2022 BELOW
Watching the drought area of the Plains for needed rains for the HRW crop!
Rains staying east of the driest areas on the latest 2 week, GFS ensemble forecast, European below that

All eyes will be watching the Plains/Midwest for potential drought busting rains.........or drought amplification before the growing season with old crop supplies of all the grains critical and dire need for a HUGE new crop in the US.
Nothing big the next week where we need precip the most!
The first crop rating could be the worst ever for the HRW crop!
Latest precip from the European model the next 2 weeks.
Not much in the driest places!
It's about that time - U.S. spring planting will soon be in full swing. This farmer in western Iowa is making preparations on Wednesday. Haven't seen much activity though.
Winds gusting to 60 mph in the S.Plains drought areas today.
This was expected. Wheat price may be down today ahead of the USDA report on Friday.
Temperatures and precip have NOT been favorable for early planting in many areas. Much too wet in the ECB.

Weather still BULLISH for HRW and corn prices.
Too dry for HRW, too cold for early corn planting, too wet in the ECB.
Wet and cold early, often leads to less corn and more bean acres........bearish for soybean prices.
Extended weather.
