A lot of people have been more than happy to bring in their "trapped" moles for weigh-in and to join in the fun in our mole trapping contest...but...NOBODY untill now has brought in a LIVE mole to be weighed. You might recognize this representative from Foerder Enterprises near the Promised Land south of Annawan. She delivered Gracie's fine catch and helped with the exciting weigh-in as the mole was not particularly interested in being weighed at all.....lively little critter.....
May I Have Your Attention Please!! Let us know about your feed, chemical and fertilizer needs early this week.

The June 30 Stocks and Acres Report is out......not good.....the trade was expecting 1 million less acres of corn but instead the USDA raised corn acres by more than 2 mil acres. Surprise!!!! Corn stocks were also higher than expected. Soybean stocks were a little higher than expected but acres were a little lower than expected.....
The June 29 Crop Progress Report showed the corn in the US was 72% Good to Excellent...last week was 70% . Illinois was 58%...last week was 51%. Soybean ratings were 68% good to excellent vs 58 % last year. You can read the full report in map form from Advance Trading on the Crop Progress Reports icon next to the Nickname List down the left side of the screen under Newsletters.
