And John, I'm wondering if we're still experiencing a hangover from, uh, the release of USDA's big WASDE report on Friday.

Yes, most definitely, CJ.

We've got, uh...

Now, we did have corn finish, uh, seven cents off the low, and, uh, now we're 13 cents off the low from Friday.

So there's a little bit of good news in there, but that corn yield and production number was just too much for the trade to handle.

It's just too big of an increase, and that comes on top of a September 30th stocks number that was sharply higher than trade expectations.

So it's, it's been rough for corn, and, uh, now we're getting into the gut slot of harvest.

I'm wondering if that's having a major impact on these markets as well.

Hmm

... facilities, export facilities up, refineries.

Um, it's gonna be difficult.

This will be the most difficult year, I believe, to date for Ukraine to get their, uh, corn exported, and Europe needs it, and, uh, who's gonna fill the gap? So I, I think there could be some surprises there.

And, uh, we'll have to wait and see.

I'm a little more concerned about soybeans.

We've got, uh, we're gonna have some damage, and, uh, we have a lot of discoloration.

And I'm thinking, "Well, that's a little far away, so what's it gonna take for me to load the truck and fill it with diesel?" You know? So, I mean, but you, could you see some opportunities where, uh, it could be in, anytime, you know, in the next few months where, wow, someone's gonna need supply in a hurry?

Thoughts on what impact those reports may have had?

Not a lot.

Uh, corn 53.8, that's a decent number for this time of the year.

In fact, uh, you know, just adds to the first, uh, four weeks.

Uh, right now the first five weeks are The best in history.

Uh, I think we have to go back to 2016-'17 for the previous one, and, uh, so even higher than last year, which obviously turned out to be a spectacular record.

So no complaints there.

Will we likely see some pressure from that with the expected intensifying of harvest activity?
