Mascoutah, Illinois | Illinoisfan, I was curious if you would agree with this or not? Let's say hypothetically the USDA is fudging the numbers once every so often. If we are starting to see a pattern with the USDA, it appears they are giving the producers and the end-users a window to do their marketing. The end-users in the first quarter and during harvest. The producers in the second quarter and late in the fourth quarter. Everyone of us knows the $16.00 beans and $8.00 corn destroyed many end-users. If we hypothetically believe the USDA is trying to help both camps, the report at the end of March should be somewhat to the bullish side if prices fall another 20 percent from these levels. It is a pattern I am keeping an eye on. If so, we may not get rich but at least everyone on both ends gets to participate. I know it sounds like socialism, but I can live with $4.25 corn and $11.00 soybeans as long as inputs stay in check.
What do you think? Do you think it is possible this is the way the "game" is now played? | |
