October has been a pretty dry month until this week. And that provided the perfect conditions to dry the crops in the fields. Thats coming up in the agribusiness report. And well explain why scientists have had to open something called the doomsday vault. Stay with tv nine. Good morning this is the david geiger. Last week was warm. Dry. And windy. And farmers got a quarter of the states corn crop out of the ground in the six point nine days suitable for fieldwork. Which the iowa crop report says is the most this season. That report now only looks at two measures of progress. How much corn and beans are harvested. Half the corn crop is now harvested. 52 percent. Two weeks ahead of last year. Moisture content for all corn is at 17 percent. Though ive heard reports of farmers having too low moisture content. Near 13 percent. The soybean harvest is 83 percent done. Ten days ahead of last year. Nearly nowhere in the state had rain in october until just this week. Which was a complete turnaround from septembers variable rainfall. Which gave perfect conditions to dry the crops in the fields. Temperatures were also above normal as well. Even has now had its first freeze. The further northeast you go, the colder things were. Some places even down to upper teens earlier in the week. And so growing season definitely over with. Might help make the soybeans a little easier to harvest in places where they still had green stems and things like that. But the southwest part of the state more hit and miss. Hillaker says the dry weather and frost poses a challenge to farmers who are getting cover crops in the ground. A farmer told me this last week that his month old cover crop wasnt growing much. The rain this week could jump start the germination. But it will be harder for some of those conservation practices to get a stand. As it gets colder. The grain markets are moving along with harvest way ahead of schedule over the five year average. Nationally. Soybeans are 50 percent ahead of last year. Weve had incredible weather here in the midwest part of the united states, and at this point were at about 75 degrees in the chicago land area, which is amazing. Its pushing Natural Gas Prices lower. Were going to do almost 3. 9 billion in soybeans so another outstanding crop we did four billion last year so back to back record crops. Were going to do 100 Million Metric Tons in brazil, so its not like were short soybeans but things just seem to have bottomed out. Im not recommending any type of short position in the agricultural markets or the grain markets, but im sitting on the sidelines. About a 1314 percent rally in the last few weeks. Remarkable. Im definitely telling and advising producers to start taking advantage of this. But as a speculator sitting on the sidelines wait for better chart structure to develop. But as a producer, you have to start lowering some of your monetary risk. This is a heck of a rally. Hogs were one of the strongest markets while Everything Else was selling off. They continue to move higher. Were right near recent highs, the highs from like six months ago are around the 70 level so were just an eyelash away. Again if youre a producer i would definitely take advantage of this, i dont think hog prices are going to stay this high for long. Iowa monarch butterflies have been struggling. With few places to live. But the Iowa Department of agriculture announced yesterday. It got nearly a quarter of a Million Dollars as grant money to establish monarch habitat. It comes from the National Fish and wildlife foundation. And goes to work three thousand three Hundred Acres of privately owned land into monarch habitat. The money will be used in partnerships with four current programs working with the butterfly. And that wraps up the show. Thanks for joining us on the agribusiness report. See you next time.

Trt 3. 31 oc its known as the doomsday vault, designed to store seeds from around the world in case our crops ever get wiped out. And it was just opened.
