Specifically on if its appropriate to define the term natural, how the agency should define natural, and how the agency should determine appropriate use of the term on food labels. This year is a record breaker for iowa. According to the iowa Production Report the statewide average of corn is a hundred 89 bushels per acre. 11 more than last year. And six more than the previous forecast. If thats right. It would smash the previous record of one hundred 81 bushels per acre. Which was set in 2004 and tied in 2009. Soybeans are similar. Its forecast is at 56 bushels per acre. Five more than last year. Which would break the 2005 record of 52 and a half bushels per acre. And thats affecting storage. In some cases, our elevators are filled up. We have some corn on the ground outside. In some cases thats in uncovered piles. I think as folks go through the countryside sometimes theyll see this big white tarp over piles that are out there you cant see the corn underneath. But we have more of it going outside right now. Well, there was a very bearish report monday for the markets. But everything went up on tuesday. So before the market close yesterday. I talked to analyst jamey kohake to see whats going on. We did have a bearish crop report. Did have a very soft trade yesterday, no follow through today. The report did not seem to be bearish enough for the bears.

Today i would just consider a dead cat bounce. I wouldnt read a whole lot into it. And for longer term trend, its still a little bit lower yet as the carryout are very comfortable. Exports are slow. Theres some serious issues obviously going on here in the cattle trade. Some of this trade reminds me of trading pork bellies years ago. You limit up, limit down, limit up, limit down. No mercy markets and its getting just flat out ridiculous. Not a lot of fundamentals being traded. The key still is cash trade. Just like in the grains, the key is exports. The key in the meats is going to be cash trade i think through the end of the year to hold this market together. I actually like trying to bottompit the hogs down in here, weve stretched the rubber band further than i could ever see it being stretched. Were roughly at seven year lows. But we need some fresh demand, some cash markets to hold together. And i think you some very, very short, quick rally there. And thats it for the agribusiness report today. Thanks for joining.

Maybe a margarita every now and again, but not much drinking. These cancers are just now getting the publics attention, thanks to efforts from actor michael douglas. But doctors do know the cancers cause, hpv or human papillomaviru s. Its spread through intimate contact oral sex, possibly even kissing. Bills treatment an intense combo of chemo and radiation.
