September 3, 2010
All Western Iowa Locations will be closed Monday September 6th for the Labor Day Holiday. Regular hours will resume on Tuesday September 7th.
Harvest will soon be here. Preparing for harvest now ensures that equipment and storage facilities are in good shape and ready for the heavy workload ahead. Inspect everything, repair, replace, educate yourself and make plans now for a safe efficient harvest 2010. And Always “THINK SAFETY FIRST”
Grain
The September crop estimates are beginning to emerge. Wednesday FCStone released their numbers. They now estimate corn production at 162.9 bpa and soybeans at 43.5 bpa. Corn was down from 165.8 last month, 2.1 below USDA’s August number. The soybean yield was down .5 from their August number. The corn yield reduction was not a surprise to the traders as early yield reports from Illinois were disappointing and has helped spur the corn market to new highs for the move. FCStone’s Illinois yield was down 10 bpa. Demand remains strong and continued talk of increasing corn demand has helped rally the market.
Agronomy News
As crops move into the final stages, before harvest begins, now is a good time to scout those fields and evaluate corn and soybean field health. Obtaining correct ID on disease, weed or insect problems now will be very important when making crop hybrid and variety selection decisions for next year. Now is also a good time to set up soil testing for those fields.
Be sure to join your Western Iowa Coop Agronomy Team at Blencoe on Tuesday September 7th for Croplan Genetics/Winfield Solutions Answer Plot day. Compare Intensive Management, Observe Proper Seed Placement and View NEW genetic traits from Asgrow, Dekalb, NK and Croplan. ( ½ mile N of Blencoe on K45)
Petroleum
It is the same old story in the petroleum market. We bounced off the $70 level for crude oil as the equity and commodity markets all rallied with the first of the month buying. Inventories remain way above average but evertime we see hope of economic rebound the market rallies. Luckily so far all the hurricane action has moved to the north east of the country
