Outstanding 2019/20 net corn sales were 7.7 MMT, nearly unchanged week over week but down around 40 percent YOY.
South American and Black Sea corn prices are heavily discounted from U.S. corn, per DTN.
USDA may cut its 2019/20 export forecast in the November’s WASDE as foreign competition and weaker-than-expected demand pose challenges to U.S. exporters.

I bought 2 King Protea's around 3 months ago. One is absolutely thriving and loving life and the other has become unwell within the last month.
It appeared to be affected by the heat wave over christmas/ new year with wilting leaves and reduction in new growth. Upon inspection (today), the leaves lower to the ground are falling off, they have gone a golden brown and have dried out completely. On those dead leaves there are raised textured spots. The brown leaves is starting to spread up into other leaves.
The Protea is planted in a raised garden bed next to 2 kangaroo paws, I've checked the pH of the soil and appears to be fine (pH 6 to 6.5 ), and the surrounding plants are growing well. The happier Protea has the exact same position in a raised garden bed, etc. They get watered daily to second daily (depending on rain), there are been no fertilisers applied.
I've attached photos of both protea's to get a visual idea of sadness that one plant is experiencing, and close up photos of the brown leaves.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. I really don't want to lose this gorgeous plant!


BREAKING: Four court victories in February have upheld Mexico’s ban on GMO corn. Despite relentless efforts by Monsanto, DuPont and their agrichemical cohorts, the Mexican courts have upheld the country’s ban on GMO corn. The four court rulings reveal a willingness on the part of 4 different federal civil law judges to recognize the pre-emptive and superior right of Mexico’s corn over GMO seed companies – in the defense of biodiversity and the quality of corn as the nation’s principal staple food item. Mexico 4, Monsanto & DuPont 0.

Wheat received early support as forecast rainfall for severely moisture stressed parts of the Hard Red Winter (HRW) wheat belt shifted further east.
Weekly exports came in slightly below market expectations at 328,000t.
On Monday we will see a condition update for US wheat areas, which should make for an interesting day-night session.
Implied volatility in May Soft Red Winter (SRW) wheat futures went out at 23pc. Commitment of Trade (COT) data had SRW at -83,500 contracts short vs. -75,900 contracts short a week ago, while HRW +10,000 long vs. +12,900 contracts long the week earlier.
The USDA Ag Outlook Forum forecast US wheat production at 50.05 million tonnes, which would lead to a year-on-year carry out reduction by 2.1Mt to 25.34Mt.
European values were stronger with Matif futures rallying €1.00/t to €164.5/t after cold temperatures in Russia and Europe slowed logistics and increased free on board (FOB) premiums.
Soybeans were stronger but finished US3c/bu off their highs, with Argentina’s dry weather forecast continuing to provide price support.
The USDA forum did not make any downside amendments to the Argentinian crop, which will be an inevitable factor in its next report, although this will be offset slightly by increases in the Brazil’s production.
Forecast ending stocks for US soybeans came in at 12.53Mt, with record exports at 62.6Mt.
Soymeal futures were down $1.40 per tonne, while soy oil was up 31 points.
Export sales came out in negative territory as cancellations outweighed new sales. This could be attributed to the Chinese NYE period, although it is not very positive, given that strong export demand is required to maintain a bullish price outcome.
The weekly Commitment of Trader Report (COT) had funds long 65,800 contracts vs. 11,100 contracts long last week.
The USDA forum had US corn production down 2 Mt, with lower-than-expected exports and record ethanol production.
Weekly corn exports were strong at 1.5Mt vs. market expectations of 1.25.
This demonstrates the attractive price and demand prospects of US corn.
A sale of 115,000t of old crop was announced to Egypt, with US basis premiums continuing to increase.
Corn COT came in +43,400 long vs. +11,000 contracts long last week.
Canola followed the strength in beans and veg oil markets.
Today’s rally represented further technical strength and surprising resilience given the Canadian dollar was up 0.57pc.
Cash markets were quiet in barley on Friday with limited direction given from China market, which has been slow to get back into things after NY celebrations.
Dalian corn futures were approximately US$2/t higher.
Wheat action was limited, with a stronger dollar not getting anyone overly excited.
The US wheat crop conditions announcement today will likely set the tone of this week’s trade.


Yes, I think I have done one of these posts every year since we moved to MA. But I can't help it. This naturalized daffodil meadow planted by the previous owners is one of the things I love best about this house. The first photo is the view from the deck. The next few show the variety of blooms. I think as the years go by, hybrids become genetic mutants, freaky fantastic flowers derived from those traditional types.
Daffodils have made their way inside the house too. This beautiful little painted cup was $1.50 at our recent church rummage sale (half price during the last half hour).
Other blooming plants include the cherry trees and viburnum. Lilac is on the way.
I'm planning to put bean and pea seeds into the garden tomorrow, but last year's kale is going strong already.
Please tell me what is blooming in your part of the world. What's going on in your vegetable garden? I'm confused about when to plant because of the heat and dry weather. This feels like July not April. Last year at this time, we were still having freezing nights. Today it got well into the 80's on the day of the Boston Marathon.

Have you ever wondered how things grow? I certainly have. I think it’s a pretty great thing how certain things can be affected simply because you do certain things while they are still in the most basic form or if you affect a few changes to the environment they grow in.
The whole concept of growing things and how we affect change is wholly fascinating.
Hello, everyone and welcome to M Bali! The name is Anthony Kimmell and you can pretty much say that I am a growth nut. I like learning things about how to make things grow and the many different ways that we can affect the growth that occurs. I’m not just limiting my discussions to plants (although they’re amazing). I’m also going to be discussing people, animals, and all sorts of things that progress with time.
This blog is going to be dissecting certain details and will be featuring some ‘how to’ discussions. I certainly hope that they’ll teach you a thing or two. Better yet, plant a seed of curiosity! If there’s anything in particular that you would want me to feature or discuss, let me know at firstname.lastname@example.org. Help me grow this site and we can all learn new things together!


Rice and Corn Stocks Inventory, February 2019
• As of 01 February 2019, the total rice stocks inventory was
• Year-on-year, the current stocks in the households dropped by
• Compared with previous month’s record, the existing stocks in the households and commercial warehouses correspondingly declined by
• Of the total stocks inventory,
Monthly rice and corn stocks inventory are generated from three sectors, namely: household, commercial, and National Food Authority (NFA). The household stocks are taken from the results of Palay and Corn Stocks Survey (PCSS) of the PSA, which covers farming and non-farming households nationwide. The commercial stocks are sourced from registered grains businessmen through the Commercial Stocks Survey (CSS). The CSS is conducted by the NFA, the results of which are submitted to PSA. NFA stocks are monitored from their warehouses/depositories.


…..Milk prices for the remainder of the year are rather uncertain. Class III prices could improve to the high $15’s and even touch $16. The Class IV price is likely to be in the $15’s. Milk cow numbers could fall further with milk per cow improving some with cooler weather by October. Thus, the growth in milk production could stay at 1% or less which would be positive for prices. Dairy exports have been a positive factor for milk prices but the uncertainty is how exports will do for the remainder of the year since retaliatory tariffs are now in effect. EU is the leading dairy exporter. But, EU is experiencing some severe drought conditions which has reduce crop production and raising feed prices. New Zealand, the second largest exporter may see some recovery in milk production but now only projected to be about 2%. So the growth in world milk production is likely to be lower resulting in world milk prices staying relatively strong which is positive for exports. So milk price forecasts will change as more information on milk production and dairy exports come available.

Punjab Seed Corporation (PSC) has been ranked 22nd on the Access to Seeds Index, which is declared by the Thailand based association `East West Seed`.
This index was provided after detailed assessment of almost 24 leading seed companies in South Asia & Southeast Asia.
It needs to be mention here, that the first-ever index for South & Southeast Asia had evaluated most important seed companies in the region along with detailed approach and obvious objectives in order to maintain food and nutrition safety measures, and to assist growth productivity of minute level farmers is one of the vital goal for sustainability of the developmental goals.
According to the index provided, the companies which scores low in the ranking are mainly due to deficient of disclosures of their objectives and actions.
Also, the PSC promotes a wide ranged portfolio of field crop assortment along with some selective vegetables through widespread means in Punjab.
Furthermore, it is observed that, the PSC is not involved in any detailed breeding programme, which has impacted in a feeble presentation in research and development sector. Also, it was distinguished in the Index that the corporation is not focused on corporate oversight as well as capability building activities in order to advantage small scale farmers.
The Index report also emphasized that 22 Index companies have existence in Pakistan, which means Pakistan has a vital local seed business.
However, the endorsement of the `Plant Breeders` Rights Act 2016`is a support for seed companies for investment in research and development sector.

This week Potatoes New Zealand business manager Ron Gall announced his resignation after 22 years working with the industry representative.
His resignation from Potatoes New Zealand and Horticulture New Zealand will come into effect from 21 December 2012 and concludes one of the most distinguished industry careers undertaken by a horticulture business manager.
Ron Gall began his horticulture career with VegFed (the NZ Vegetable and Potato Growers Federation now Horticulture New Zealand) in 1990 and shortly afterwards took on the role of potato product group manager where he has served for 18 years.
Ron said it is an ideal time to hand over the reins to the very capable new Potatoes New Zealand Board.
"I strongly believe that the new structure and focus of Potatoes New Zealand Inc is the correct way forward."
"There will be challenges for the board but there will also be opportunities. I look forward to watching the Potatoes New Zealand Board taking the industry from strength to strength. I also look forward to being able to contribute to the industry's future in other capacities."
In 2009, Ron was awarded the Potatoes New Zealand Chairman's Award for his energy, passion and enthusiasm for the industry.
Stuart Wright, Chair of Potatoes New Zealand, acknowledged Ron's contribution and commitment to the industry and celebrated his industry foresight.
"Ron has played an integral role in strengthening the industry and as he approaches his retirement his legacy will always be held in high esteem," said Mr Wright. "His call for change was key to the potato industry's continued success. He leaves Potatoes New Zealand a better place, and his successor, I know, will be very grateful for the hard work and passion he dedicated to the industry."
Terry Olsen, Former Chair of Potatoes New Zealand, who worked with Ron closely for over seven years, believes Ron's presence was integral in determining the potato industry's economic future.
"Ron is one of the most experienced and professional managers I have ever had the pleasure of working with. He understands our industry and has built up tremendous networks over the years. He will be greatly missed but I know this will not be the last time we hear about Ron."
Following Ron's announcement, Potatoes New Zealand will shortly begin the process of recruiting a new Chief Executive and hopes to be able to appoint a person to the role in the coming months.

11% jump in sales of big German manufacturer’s tillage kit
According to Lemken, the global business environment for agricultural technology has “recovered”. The German firm notched up worldwide sales amounting to €360 million in 2017 – an 11% increase on the previous year.
It says that sales developed “especially well” in eastern Europe. Exports now account for 77% of Lemken’s overall turnover.
According to Lemken, almost all countries experienced an upturn. It says, in those markets, cereal and milk prices have “largely recovered” – creating an upbeat investment mood.
Lemken also reports “excellent sales results” in the Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland. The company also grew its business in the UK.
Challenging in France
However, the market was challenging in France, where investment was reportedly subdued as a result of “disappointing harvests and prices”.
Which machines sold well?
Lemken says that sales “developed positively across all product groups”. Growth was particularly strong in the plough and compact disc harrow segments.
Meanwhile, Lemken now employs 1,470 staff; this is a new “high”.
Managing director Anthony van der Ley commented: “We are very happy that the economy has picked up again. Due to our employees’ outstanding commitment, we were able to produce considerably more machines than planned.”
The outlook for 2018 is apparently positive; an “excellent level” of incoming orders at the beginning of the year has been reported by management. Moreover, Lemken says that there continues to be “enormous demand for modern agricultural technology in eastern Europe – above all in Russia”.
The company is now considering the prospect of manufacturing equipment in that country – to capitalise on the opportunity.
It is also anticipated that the French market will improve – for the first time in some years.

Landscaping chores, whether you love them or not, are a must. Fall offers the perfect opportunity to tidy up your yard for winter and get it ready for spring. At Goodwyn Building, we want to help you with our experience. So, without further ado, here are some of the landscaping mistakes you should aim to avoid this Autumn.
Don’t Forget to Plan Ahead for Spring
Fall is the ideal time to start prepping for your Spring garden. Prepare for spring by planting cold-hardy flower bulbs now. Your efforts will bloom into vibrant colors as the weather warms, signaling the arrival of longer, sunnier days.
Don’t Forgo Aerating Your Lawn
Don't neglect lawn aeration. Compacted soil can be a nightmare. Aerating in the fall prevents weed overgrowth, unlike spring aeration, which invites weeds. It also encourages healthy grass growth as the aeration allows for more oxygen and water to the roots of your grasses.
Don’t Forget to Give Your Tools a Bit of TLC
Don’t just put your gardening and landscaping tools away for the season without giving them a bit of love. Instead, take a moment to care for your trusty garden tools before storing them. Clean them thoroughly, removing dirt and debris with steel wool or a wire brush. Sharpen bladed tools with a file to keep them in top shape. This will ensure that they last for a long time and that they are ready for use when you need them next Spring.
Don’t Let Dead Leaves Lay Around
Raking leaves isn't just for appearances. It's crucial for a healthy lawn. Leaves left unattended restrict airflow and promote fungal infections like snow mold, which leads to unsightly bald patches in spring. Remove fallen leaves to maintain a lush lawn.
So, don’t make these lawn care mistakes this Fall. If you avoid these pitfalls, you can make sure that your lawn is primed and ready to flourish again the next Spring and Summer.

A hot Thai chilli that looks like a pumpkin. Fruit are strongly-ribbed, thick-fleshed and good for stuffing.
Heat level: hot
(approx. 36,000 SHU)
Its name says it all: a Thai chilli shaped like a pumpkin. The hot, thick-fleshed fruit are flattened and strongly ribbed. They measure about 4cm in diameter and ripen from green to red. Their shape and size make them ideal receptacles for stuffing, but they can also be sliced up and used in any dish where heat is required.
The bushy, medium tall plants will do well in 7.5 litre pots, though some support must be provided to keep them from falling over.
Heat level: hot (approx. 36,000 SHU)
For more information on Scoville Heat Units and what they mean click here.
Approximate number of seeds per pack: 20
(This variety should not be confused with ‘Pumpkin‘, another chilli variety we sell, which is a small-fruited habanero chilli.)

RE: My Actifit Report Card: September 3 2019
About a year or more ago, you asked me to post about growing Okra. I haven't done that yet, but decided to see if you were still active before I did. It looks like you gave up on this platform or had to take a break for some other reason. I hope you are well.


Two weeks after planting, another bell pepper seed germinated today. I guess it decided not to be coy anymore and join the sunshine party. The blurry pepper sprout on the left has a full week of growth on him. Again, I’m hit with the irony of starting seeds: Just when I think I’m not going to have any transplants, and plant another handful of seeds, the laggards start to show their stuff. So obviously they need a little peer pressure, a little Darwinian reminder that they’re forgettable, but now I could end up with several more peppers than I bargained or have space for. Last year I wouldn’t have thought twice about tossing a live but less-than-hardy plant in the garbage (did I mention Darwinian impulses?), but this year I’ve put so much time and care into these plants, there’s no way I’m trashing any. My plan is to just find family and friends or neighbors who want to raise edibles.
But see, there I go getting again, getting ahead of myself and just inviting irony into my life: I’m sure now that I’ve counted my proverbial eggs, I’ll have a wholesale pepper germination strike on my hands.
I’ve been concentrating on the indoor crowd, since it’s been rather disheartening to watch the snow fall outside in the last 24 hours, but soon I’ll post more about what I sowed outdoors this week. And how, I’m sure, the outdoors is foiling my efforts, too! Hey, I’m learning that there’s a lot of fun in mild chaos and imperfection.


After a week of looking back on some of host Shaun Haney’s favourite interviews of 2019, it’s time to look forward. In this episode of RealAg Radio, you’ll hear:
- The top ag news, with RealAgriculture’s Jessika Guse;
- Is planter-precision necessary for top canola yield? Farming Smarter’s Ken Coles provides an update on ongoing research in Alberta;
- Monitoring bins, pest surveys, variety selection and more with Jeremy Boychyn of Alberta Wheat and Barley Commissions; and
- SWAC in Ontario, yield enhancement networks, wheat sprouting and more with resident agronomist Peter ‘Wheat Pete’ Johnson.

Think A Bale Spear Is “One Size Fits All” – Think Again
With the advent of high density round balers and the increased popularity of silage bales, operators have been experiencing increased challenges in handling these heavy bales. The right bale spear makes all the difference.
One challenge is being able to fully embed the longer 49″ Conus II bale spear into these hard tightly packed round bales. While these work very well with soft core bales they present a challenge in the harder, denser bales.
Secondly, the long spear used on a large heavy bale results in fatiguing the long spear rendering it susceptible to breakage near the base. This is especially true when penetration is limited, leaving the bale hanging further from the tine base.
In these cases HLA recommends a double bale spear with 39″ Conus II tines (top guard is strongly recommended when using a tractor loader). This will allow for sufficient penetration and cause less stress at the tine base.
Check out what HLA has to offer on their Products Page.

A new thin yard is not really really appealing. Pre-emergents prevent weeds from growing $3.4 One thousand million World-wide Hair quiet lawn mower airbrush Mower blades Arena To help you 2027 , as a result even while it again needs attention of a good great deal of weeds, it again won’t aid with cold months weeds that were already there. St. Augustine will be a warm-season lawn frequently utilized for yards, pastures, and some other large places. Comb blades are really sometimes known like bud predators because they may be the best-suited software to sharp any bit of territory of weeds. You should, therefore, establish your lawn in mid-summer when conditions are great for the growth and spread of this grass species all over your lawn.
Clean blades may end up being a lot more expensive than your typical marijuana wacker or even still lawnmower, but this is because they function better and harder. For instance, if you want a informative post lot of strength and the ability to re-fill in a rush, a gas-powered weed eater is a fantastic selection. Yet, this model’s loss of a posted warrantee can be a very symbol against its overall good quality. Because the products are constructed to order, you will possess to wait for to 4 weeks before getting your blade mechanism up. Wash blades are generally incredibly durable, robust and challenging garden resources that can be a major investment.
Usually, it requires about 7-14 times for recently set up St. Augustine lawn attaches to start distributing, pursuing company main organization in the ground. This product focuses on St. Augustine to the exemption of different yard options pretty much. The amount of brush that the cutter can clear depends on its electric motor size and power mostly. The downside with this backyard St. Augustine turfgrass fertilizer will be that you may want to placed it down after 30 times if your backyard can be closely infested with weeds. Yet, according to a complete lot of st Augustine grass critiques, it are able to furthermore perform nicely within almost any southern climate, with the proper dirt.
As it is a muIti-purpose device, this gas-operated clean cutter machine is a excellent worth. This weed eater can be used as brush cutter even, so mainly because you connect a even more durable 18” cutting knife very long. If you want to adjust your earth a bit more, consider using another weed and foodstuff instead of this combination. An important walk-behind brush blade mechanism happens in portable in particular if you possess tons of gets to include. The Snap Pac is a little more expensive than some of the other weed and feed options on our record, but its impressive weed ease and manage of use place it in a class of its own.
As it is a two-in-one, this is a superb price garden instrument and is quick to use. The Pennington Ultragreen Southern Weed And Feed blend is a particularly good choice for St. Augustine grass. There is a full variety of brush cutters. You can enjoy a cooI 45 short minutes of uninterrupted lowering with the second hand cutter. Likewise take note of the parts for brush cutters you’re considering. That is why my checklist consists of generally electric power weed trimmers and you wiIl see that they are significantly far better for starters – because they are easy to employ, and girls – because they are ideal.


Ursula Von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, recently issued a statement stating that the EU is investing €1 Billion to boost the solidarity lanes to secure the routes of Ukraine’s substantial agricultural exports.
She stated that the EU urgently grants an investment of €250 million as Ukrainian railways and roads need instant repairs to continue the food supplies in several European nations relying on Ukrainian grain.
She emphasized,” Millions of people in most fragile countries rely on Ukraine’s corps for survival; Russia intentionally tried to starve them by blocking Ukrainian ports, preventing ships full of grain from reaching the world. By doing so, countries like Somalia to Yemen are put on the brink of starvation. We won’t let that happen”.
She expressed about Ukrainian exports, ”We created emergency corridors to bring wheat maize and oil seeds out of Ukraine to global food markets. Thanks to solidarity lanes, Ukraine has exported more than 15 million tonnes of agricultural goods. That is roughly 60% of all Ukrainian exports since the beginning of the war”.
According to Von der, solidarity lanes are the most reliable way for Ukraine to trade with the world. The exports generated 15 million euros of much-needed revenues for Ukrainian farmers and businesses, contributing to the closer integration of Ukraine’s economy with the European Union.
She stressed, “Where Russia sowed destruction, Europe restored hope. But solidarity lanes are now reaching their maximum limits. Ukrainian railways and roads quickly need repairs to ensure the unstoppable supplies of Ukrainian grain, and waiting time at the border crossing must be lessened”.
She highlighted that neighbour countries like Moldova need more support, that’s why the EU will boost solidarity lanes with an additional 250 € million to improve connections between Ukraine and its neighbouring countries. It’s a powerful example of standup against Russian aggression for the collective good of Europe and the entire world.


NEW DELHI: Select pulses rose further by up to Rs 100 per quintal at the wholesale market on rising demand from retailers.
However, arhar and its dal finished lower on lack of buying support.
Traders said besides rising demand from retailers, pause in supplies from producing regions mainly kept select pulses prices higher.

In the national capital, gram, gramdal local and best quality were up by Rs 100 each to Rs 5,700-6,800, Rs 6,800- 7,200 and Rs 7,200-7,300 per quintal, respectively. Kabuli gram small variety also traded higher by Rs 100 to Rs 9,600- 10,400 per quintal.
Urad too edged up to Rs 5,500-6,750 from previous level of Rs 5,400-6,750 per quintal. Its dal chilka local, best quality and dhoya were enquired higher by Rs 50 each to Rs 5,800-5,900, Rs 5,900-6,400 and Rs 6,300-6,500 per quintal, respectively.
On the other hand, arhar and its dal dara variety declined by Rs 100 each to Rs 4,100 and Rs 6,000-7,800 per quintal, respectively.
Following are today’s pulses rates (in Rs per quintal):
Urad Rs 5,500-6,750, Urad Chilka (local) Rs 5,800-5,900, Urad best Rs 5,900-6,400, Dhoya Rs 6,300-6,500, Moong Rs 4,800-5,000, Dal Moong Chilka local Rs 5,300-5,500, Moong Dhoya local Rs 5,900-6,400 and best quality Rs 6,400-6,600.

Do you have any left over scorpion seeds @jojogriggs
@freddyfig12 sadly no. I tried to take in the plants and try them again this year but no flowers yet. Only leaves on a thick trunk. :)
Is there enough foliage on the plant for a cutting so I could root it? @jojogriggs
@freddyfig12 no. Are the seeds hard to find? The peppers taste really good. The plant was a gift last summer.
@jojogriggs pretty much, yea. The usps in my area always relate food seeds with cannabis seeds, and the package always gets either trashed or sent back.
@freddyfig12 woah! Where do you live?
Sadly, Newark, NJ. In the street that I live, recently everyone has been ordering cannabis seeds, one person got caught. Now everyone's package gets there package turned over to the place it came from. Is there any store on the east coast that sells scorpion peppers or so? @jojogriggs

Corn futures are called narrowly mixed this morning.
- Corn futures rebounded from slight losses to finish the overnight session steady to fractionally higher through the December 2014 contract.
- Aside from light short-covering as traders square positions ahead of Friday's USDA reports, the upside is limited as bullish news is lacking.
- Concerns about extreme heat in areas of Argentina's grain belt are muted as relief rains are forecast over the coming days.
- Gulf corn basis is steady to a penny lower for all delivery periods this morning.
Soybean futures are called 3 to 5 cents lower this morning.
- Soybean futures ended the overnight session 4 to 6 cents lower. Old-crop futures pulled back from yesterday's gains while new-crop futures continued the recent slide.
- Very hot temps are expected to continue across La Pampa and southern Buenos Aires today, with slightly milder temps across the key corn and soybean production areas in Argentina. But relief from the recent heat and dryness is expected over the coming days as rains are forecast. This weighed on soybeans overnight.
- Additionally, growing conditions remain generally favorable across Brazil. That limits traders' willingness to buy and is a reason to sell futures.
- But an announcement from USDA that China purchased 350,000 MT of U.S. soybeans for 2013-14 should help limit selling interest this morning.
- Gulf soybean basis is steady to a penny higher for nearby delivery this morning.
Wheat futures are expected to open 1 to 3 cents lower this morning, though price action could be choppy.
- Wheat futures are choppy with a downside bias overnight following a poor close Monday.
- While temps are still bitterly cold across winter wheat areas today, more seasonal conditions are on the way. Therefore, winterkill concerns have eased.
- Traders are also expecting USDA to report winter wheat seedings up slightly from year-ago on Friday, though the figure could well come in higher than the average pre-report guess.
- Plentiful global supplies and concerns about demand for U.S. wheat remain background issues that are price-negative for wheat futures.
- The U.S. dollar index is mildly firmer this morning, which could add to the mildly negative tone in wheat.
Live cattle futures are called steady to slightly higher.
- Nearby live cattle futures closed high-range Monday, which is expected to lead to light followthrough buying this morning.
- Tight market-ready supplies and inclement weather across the Plains and Midwest are fundamentally supportive for cattle futures.
- The lead-month contract is also trading slightly below the top end of last week's cash cattle price range in the Southern Plains, which is mildly supportive.
- But traders aren't likely to get too aggressive with long positions as futures are mildly overbought and cash cattle trade isn't expected until late-week.
- Boxed beef prices were sharply higher Monday, with Choice up $1.21 and Select $2.28 higher. Movement was light at 148 loads, however, and there are questions about beef demand with both Choice and Select boxes above $200.
- Feeder cattle futures are also expected to favor a mildly firmer tone this morning, though price action should be light amid expected limited price movement in live cattle and corn.
Lean hog futures are expected to open slightly lower this morning.
- February lean hog futures are expected to see light pressure this morning as the lead-month contract is trading at a stiff premium to the cash market. While the market should put in a seasonal low soon, if it hasn't already, traders already have a seasonal rebound built into the market.
- Cash hog bids are expected to be steady to firmer across the Midwest, though packer demand is varied. Some plants are still running reduced hours due to inclement weather, while others are struggling to secure slaughter supplies.
- Packers are working with profitable margins, but they have tightened amid declining pork product prices.
- The pork cutout value was 28 cents lower Monday and packers moved only 265.07 loads of product on the day.


Wheat Markets Lower Again
USDA released its monthly reports on Wednesday and there wasn’t a lot of fireworks. U.S. wheat ending stocks grew by 10 million bushels through increase to Hard Red Wheat and Durum and no change to Soft Red Wheat and cutting Dark Northern Spring and Soft White White. White wheat stocks were cut by 5 million bushels to 32 million. From the floor of the CME Group, Chris Robinson shares his observations of Wednesday’s markets.
Robinson: “The Russians now backed off and said that they never they would going to stop exporting wheat. Which is a direct contradiction to what they said last week which spiked up the wheat, so you have lower prices in response to that.”
Chicago March Wheat ended Wednesday down 4 cents at 5-93 and 3/4. March corn ended the day down 1 and 1/2 cents at 3-93 and 3/4.
Portland prices for soft white wheat were down 4 cents at mostly 6-97 and 3/4. White club wheat prices were down 4 cents at mostly 9-64 and 1/2. Hard Red Winter wheat with 11.5 percent protein prices were down 4 and 1/2 cents at mostly 7-30 and 1/2. DNS wheat with 14 percent protein prices were down 3 and 1/2 cents at mostly 9-31 and 1/2.
February live cattle were down 20 cents on Wednesday at 162-85. March Feeder cattle were down a dime at 227-25. January class III milk was unchanged at 15-90.


Merchandising unpriced corn and soybeans will likely prove challenging this winter, given USDA’s forecast for ending stocks in August 2018 of 2.44 billion bushels of corn - the highest level in 30 years – and 445 million bushels of soybeans - the highest level in more than a decade.
Other than short covering (commodity funds buying back their short futures positions), expect very few supply or demand surprises that could bring speculative commodity funds back into the futures markets.
Perhaps soybean futures prices could rally this winter with weather uncertainty in South America. A mild La Niña growing season could lead to drier conditions in Argentina and southern Brazil.
Merchandising like your elevator
Many elevators and co-ops have large bunkers of corn stored temporarily outside with covers. How will they make money on those bushels? The answer: Grain merchandisers lock in futures price carry, understand their local basis, and know they have a relatively low cost of grain ownership.
When an elevators or co-op buys corn they plan to store, they sell the underlying futures contracts that represent those bushels. When the bushels are processed or delivered, they buy back those contracted bushels in the same futures contract month. They will often roll their futures contracts forward to maximize futures carry as currently exists in the futures markets.
Futures price carry is defined as the difference between nearby futures and the more distant or deferred months – in this case, May and July as March is the nearby futures contract.
At the end of October 2017, November futures closed at $9.75; March futures, $9.95; May, $10.04 and July, $10.12. So the futures market was offering 37¢/bu. to store beans until July.
To capture this carry, a farmer would have to sell futures in the deferred months (May or July) via a hedge or initiate a hedge-to-arrive (HTA) contract using those same months and make a spring delivery of bushels. It is worth noting that as 2017 came to an end, July beans closed at $9.78 – only 3 cents above the nearby contract price during harvest.
Merchandising like your elevator
In developing a marketing plan for inventory in storage, consider not only the futures price carry but also local basis and your cost of grain ownership.
Basis is simply the local cash price minus the nearby futures contract. It reflects the local supply and demand for soybeans and can vary by processor, river terminal, elevator or co-op facility.
The graph below shows examples of the soybean basis trends at a central Iowa elevator versus the March futures contracts each year since the 2012 crop. The line begins with harvest in October and ends approximately March 1, when the contract goes into delivery.
Note the pattern. The widest basis each year occurred during harvest. The basistrend was much narrower (a smaller negative number) for both the 2012 and 2013 crops when weather concerns had cut ending stocks. In each of the last four years, as U.S. ending stocks have increased, basis has been much wider (a larger negative number).
Since 2014, most of the winter basis appreciation is realized by early January and little or no improvement is seen thereafter. That means that any profit from storage is more likely to come from futures than from basis improvement once the harvest pressure is over.
Cost of ownership
Knowing your cost of ownership for stored bushels is critical. For simplicity, let’s use $9.02/bu.cash soybeans as the harvest time starting point. We’ll assume interest accrues on stored beans at an annual percentage rate (APR) of 5 percent.
Note the on-farm storage line (checked) is estimated at 1 cent per bushel per month while commercial storage line (dots) is 16 cents for the first 90 days and 2.8¢/bu. for each month thereafter. Of course, storage charges vary depending on facilities -- on-farm vs. local elevators vs. co-ops.
In this example, by March, the cost of stored beans rises to $9.50/bu. and by July, almost $9.75.
The dark solid line is the cash price bid at this elevator weekly since harvest. Some years, bushels stored commercially do not provide a positive return above the cost of ownership. On-farm soybeans have a better chance of a positive return, in addition to the ability to shop around for better processor cash bids.
Many farmers are storing record amounts of unpriced grain and face wider-than-normal basis. Expect movement of these bushels to impact cash prices. The availability of South American new-crop soybeans could add pressure to both futures prices and basis well into the spring and summer months.
Cash prices will need to increase enough to provide a profit margin above the cost of your grain ownership. Expect financial pressure this winter on some farmers, especially for those storing a large number of unpriced 2016 as well as 2017 bushels and having cash flow needs.
Calculate your own cost of ownership for stored bushels. Consider creating line graphs like the example provided to assist your marketing plan and as a reminder that storage and interest are not free. Also, track your local basis weekly where you typically deliver bushels to better determine basis trends.
Consider using a variety of marketing tools, including basis or minimum price contracts, so you can eliminate storage costs and lock in the basis, if attractive. You can still participate in a futures price rally when using the deferred contract months (May or July). However, if you make cash sales in the winter months, you will not be able to capture the futures price improvement if it occurs in the deferred futures contracts.

I found some tulip bulbs, still in package, that I forgot to plant in the fall. They have been in our semi heated garage (60 degrees approximately) all winter...Can I plant them in a container and set outside.We live in central Illinois and its mid-February. Any hope of them blooming? Thank you for your input.

Yes, pot them up and put outside. They need 8-15 weeks of cold (35-50F) to trigger sprouting. I would let them bloom in the container and move the bulbs outside after the flowers fade.

The white grape variety is a new breed between Bacchus x Seyve-Villard 12-375 (Villard Blanc). The name was given after the brightest fixed star in the sky, nine light years away. Incidentally, the same parents also produced the two new varieties Phoenix and Staufer. They contain genes from Vitis berlandieri, Vitis rupestris and Vitis vinifera. The hybrid was crossed by the breeder Dr. Gerhardt Alleweldt (1927-2005) at the Institute for Vine Breeding Geilweilerhof in Siebeldingen-Pfalz. It was a crossing partner for the new varieties Felicia and Villaris. The vine is resistant to both types of mildew and is considered a PIWI variety. It produces fruity white wines similar to Riesling. In 2016, however, no more stocks were reported in Germany (D-STATIS).

In the first few weeks of having your newly designed landscape, everything is picture perfect, as if taken out from a snapshot in a magazine. Your lawn is as green as it ever has been, your flowers are in full bloom, the lighting is perfect and your choice of added ornaments has given more elegance to your design. The sad thing is, this picture perfect scene doesn’t last forever.
Eventually, your green grass will become more brown, giving your landscape that barren look, even though you’ve used annual plants to keep the design on full bloom throughout the year. That’s why you should get to know how to maintain a health lawn. Here are some lawn care tips to keep your lawn in a healthy shape.
Of course, just like with other plants, water is essential to your lawn. To keep your lawn healthy you have to give it approximately 1-2 inches of water in a week. How often you should water highly depends on the rainfall and season you have at present. You should irrigate your lawn as well, so that you won’t have problems with running water in areas you don’t want it to be.
You can remove weeds like dandelions by digging. After you dig, always be sure that you sow grass seed on bare soil areas.
You can also use an aerator to get rid of plugs of soil that prevent thatch. Aeration can also help in the conditioning of your soil.
You can get rid of dead thatch in the lawn by using a rake. Dethatching can help your lawn get more air, fertilizer and water.
Now that you know some tip for maintaining a healthy lawn, you are ready to take charge in the maintenance of your landscape. Just remember to follow these tips, and you’ll have less problems with your lawn.
Even if Fido lives primarily indoors, your furry family member will spend some time outdoors. Dogs and landscaping don't always mix. Digging, eating plants or wearing paths in the lawn are a few of the potential problems dogs cause to landscaping. The landscaping - including plant selection and surface choices - can also be dangerous for canines. A few basic pet-friendly landscaping tricks can keep the yard looking attractive while keeping your dog safe.
