(NAFB) – Farm Progress will return to hosting live events with the Farm Progress Show in Decatur, Illinois, August 31-September 2, and Husker Harvest Days in Grand Island, Nebraska, September 14-16.
A survey done by Readex Research indicated that 84 percent of past show attendees will go to the show in person or plan to attend if their schedule allows it. The industry hasn’t come together in person since early 2020, so groundbreaking product introductions and technological advances haven’t been seen in over 18 months.
Farm Progress says its entire team is working to ensure that the agriculture community can reconnect in meaningful and safe ways when they return to these yearly events. The All-Secure Guidelines, a transparent and vetted industry-wide collection of health and safety policies, will provide direction during the upcoming shows and make sure that all attendees and exhibitors will be safe and healthy.
Soybeans soar more than 2% Monday, with some wheat contracts clearing 4% today
Grain prices soared again on Monday after tight domestic supplies, weather worries in Brazil and a late start to plantings in the U.S. triggered another big round of technical buying today. Corn finished the session limit up, with all futures carving out new life-of-contract highs. Soybeans trended 2% higher, meantime, while wheat contracts closed with gains ranging between 3% and 4%.
Plenty of rain is expected to roll through the eastern Corn Belt later this week, with significant parts of Missouri, Illinois and Indiana bracing for another 2” or more between Tuesday and Friday, per the latest 72-hour cumulative precipitation map from NOAA. The agency’s 8-to-14-day outlook predicts even more seasonally wet weather for much of the central U.S. between May 3 and May 9, along with warmer-than-average temperatures.
