Thanks tallpine!


Rains coming up are bullish corn/beans because of planting delays and bearish wheat because they will hit some dry spots.

If rains in the drought areas were not so bearish wheat right now, corn would be doing much better!

First decent rain in a very long time for some of the dry HRW areas is clobbering wheat, especially HRW prices right now.

Sunday Night/Monday is the ideal time frame.


Could have a gap lower on Sunday NIght's wheat:
