Seems they get plenty of farmer bashing over there too reading the comments section, at least they didnt blame it on Brexit for a change!

Most of them haven't heard of Brexit! Some really stupid comments in there that make tiffs in TFF about pan mixers & Fendts look really quite intelligent...

Just been through North/South Dakota, central Minnesota, there are many acres of corn and beans not planted, acres under water and lots of sections which have clearly been drilled late, but in the dryer areas further west the rains have been beneficial.
It's still all to play for, just depends how good the summer is

Is there much corn and beans in North Dakota? I think of it as more dry crop cereal country like Montana, but I’ve never been.

yes, following a very successful drive by plant breeders to get the right genetics for northern production. These days the bottom third of Minnesota often out-yields Iowa acre for acre.

What is the definition of a “day?” Maize breeding over here has moved on a lot for our cooler climate.
