I have been watching USA planting progress for the best part of 20 years, just by following AgTalk.
Many years there appear to be serious issues. Every difficult year, 100% or to a very large extent, USA farmers pull success from the jaws of defeat.
In 2013 Iowa farmers plated 70% of their corn in this exact week - that is how much planter capacity they have.
But this year is different -there is a potential disaster situation unfolding day by day.
By monday some major forecast rain will or will not have fallen on Iowa Illinois Indiana.
Monday Chicago i would expect to be interesting.
It's your turn, I took one for the team this time last year.
I admire your optimism. Wish i shared it.dont lock any in, prices are on the rise again
I've tried playing that game too, treating the discussions on Newagtalk like valid 'insider' information (floods, drought, slow planting, ethanol etc etc) , only to find that what sounds like earth shattering trends completely fail to register on this side of the Atlantic, it's almost as if they are talking about a completely different planet. It's a very easy and dangerous to get sucked into making decisions based on a handful of subjective sentiment made half way across the globe, and 'wrong foot' a years worth of grain marketing as a result.
They do have a lot of people on the ground in most counties many in each state so have a large sample but most of all the futures market traders use the information from the usda as reliableI suggest more useful than listening to farmers is reading the USDA state reports. I suspect many on here will say what doe they know, I want to hear it from farmers, same as many slate the AHDB here in UK, but the USDA staff will be more dispassionate about the effects of a dry / wet whatever period and will reference to previous events. Hey ho.

a drought take one weekends rain to break but too wet takes time to dry out maize does not do well in cold wet planting conditions
Notill needs dry weather post planting
Holding out here For new crop
