Yesterday was the last day of the 44th annual Iowa Pork Congress in des moines. And earlier this week. They hosted a meeting. Which looked at voting on a resolution that checked out other venues for the congress to move the reasoning was because of a pending Water Quality lawsuit from the des moines leaving des moines would be a show of disapproval. However, because of a confusion of whether the city or water works board is in control of the lawsuit. There was an amendment that asked the pork board to invesesgate changing the venue. Look at moving. But. Theres a catch. Some worry that theres no other place in iowa that has the facilities and size of the Convention Center in hy vee hall where the congress has been set up for years. Well i dont know that people want to move, i think the impetus behind it was the fact that people were upset, farmers were upset, pork producers, cattlemen, corn producers, soybean producers all are upset by the fact that the Des Moines Water Works is suing farmers over over this Water Quality issue. We dont think thahas the way to make progress. Agriculture wont be getting any benefits from recent cuba trade announcements.

And id say that when we have these kind of rallies. Lets just basically say weve had a 20 cent rally. Not much of one but a 20 cent rally, hard to hold much more than 5 or 6 days without some sort of a correction or without some what the c cn and certainly soybean and wheaa markets need. Is they need demand stimulus and were not getting a whole lot of demand stimulus right now. I really like the hog market and have been thinking that hogs certainlylyn the feb contract would make a pretty run here and it has but if you look at the chart weve got a 200 day moving average, that were running into some Serious Problems with here today withth6572. I think its really in the deferred over in the hog market that producers have more downside. I like these hog markets where they are, i think theyre making a pretty good rally. But im not surprised were seeing some corrections here off of those long term moving averages. And thats all i have for the show today. Thanks for joining us. Ill see you next time.
