Perfect growing weather from someone in the pit that was labeled a perma bull in beans. Midwest is unreal really, with cool August temps. except for all the ‘lollapalooza’ kids heading to Lake Michigan. I try to produce conditional indicators that funds use explicitly, especially when violated. This enables me to help you identify low risk high reward trades. …

A bounce today in the markets after yesterdays weakness. The market will mark time to see the USDA numbers on the 10th. The yield is still up in the air for beans as the central and eastern belt are receiving adequate rains while the west is still in question. The next 3 weeks will be key to production. If the …
Corn, Meal, Hog buy Olive
I just did a timely voice a half hour ago, corn buy with 3.78.5 sell stop, meal 313.80 stop, both same setup, very low risk if looking to buy these markets funds are getting slapped around in. Powder blue xxx’s are powerful pivots. THIS IS VERY SHORT TERM so this may not apply to yourself. It is an example of …

Farmer Alert– I don’t recommend hedging Corn down here as this is a buy level. $3.80 held. This is the time to be on alert to market your crop for producers. $4.15 was posted as the 1st of …
Corn, US dollar, Olive hit /filled 3.82, 9351
Pay heed to Cup—- Short on time to type a comment today but a boatload happening everywhere. I am going to have to drop day to day coverage in meats as the audience for these tiny commodities is too small. If you want to come here to do business with me then this would change but for now this is …

There are times it would appear when it is best to be out of the market. The volatility at present is making it very difficult. The weather for the next three weeks will drive the price direction. The western belt remains dry. With very spotty rain if any. This will fuel rallies if the forecast doesn’t change. The question will …
