Concerning the recent hot and dry weather trend, Arlan Suderman says “There’s still a lot of uncertainty about the staying power of this trend. Forecasters do not currently see that happening, but they note that they can’t rule it out either. The next four to six weeks are critical for the development of the U.S. corn and soybean crops. The corn balance sheet has plenty of wiggle room currently…The soybean balance sheet has very little if any wiggle room due to lost acreage and strengthening domestic demand.”
