Our Reply: The same could be said about farming the last few years... rise early, work late, and sell corn!

Local Impact of Goss' Wilt

Hey Pete,
Here is that picture I sent you a few weeks ago of that field with the Goss’ Wilt that was so bad, only now it is updated with yield results.  The Pioneer P0528XR was 218.8 bushels and the Competitor was 94.4 bushels.  The check was nearly 2100 feet long, across the entire field so it was an accurate representation of the field.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Bullish News Cattle Feeders

Ouch!

"Do you realize that traders holding just 10 long silver contracts in the past five trading sessions have lost a half million US dollars.  Just think for a minute to what has happened to the large diversified funds who are holding long positions in silver, gold, copper, crude oil, corn, soybeans, coffee, sugar, etc... To say the least, they have gotten their bell rung. They were already on the ropes, now a flurry of blows leaves many in the trade asking if they will be able to make the "Standing 8 Count." There is some renewed life early this morning after being down hard again at one point during the overnight."... As seen on the Van Trump Report
