There was avian bird flu in several US states. Impacted short term supply. Chicken population can recover quickly. So much bad news out there the media fear machine couldn’t spare any time for bird flu so it went largely unreported unless you are in the ag industry.

@caroljsroth
Don't forget the 2 year/ 100% rally from 18K to 36K? That always gets lost in the shuffle on media days like this. Dow at 29500 is 20% off its high. A bear market, yes; But-- still 11,400 points or 63% Higher than the pandemic panic low. Just a bit of perspective.
Contract high $6.79 1/4. May 31st low $4.90 3/4. A fat $1.88 1/2 drop in revenue. 94.25 is half way back? $5.85---This morning's high? $5.85. If you don't care about farm revenue, don't lift a finger to capture this recovery. Do nothing. if prices fold again on a rainstorm?
$1.39/ $2.47 /$1.61 ? Corn/ Beans/ Chicago Wheat have gained that in 3 weeks. Producer's? It's Christmas in June. Reward it. Or risk a 2013 market- we rallied into July 4th-- then "adios". Corn dropped 6.50 to $4.10- Don't blame the USDA or Speculators-- if that happens. It's

Chicago. Sad. Ironic. Depressing. All of the above. I can remember showing up here in 1990. Streets were packed all day. Even the muggers are complaining now b/c there is no one down there to carjack anymore.
I have no idea why they call $Cotton the "widow maker". Maybe this Chart can enlighten us all.
40 days to grind lower and suck in bears; 10 days to rip their faces off. Will politicians blame this on "greedy cotton farmers"?
New Crop Beans; From 8.40 2 years ago to $15.84 a month ago. A $7.44 rally; Once again- the 750-year-old Italian math teacher takes a bow as we find support at the 38% retracement of that rally. Things that make you go hmmm.

New Crop Beans- We have rallied $2.92 since November's USDA. $14.83 high overnight; $12.00 beans look cheap in the rearview mirror. Hindsight is always the best trader- especially on twitter.
New Crop CZ23- There is 50 cents of risk here if we just grind lower into March 31st Planting Intentions data dump. Barring a demand or S.A. weather story- we are stuck bowling with "gutter guards" between these two stupid technical lines. IMO.

3 yrs of "pricing opportunity" over a $3.03 trading range. Any cash sale above $5.76- puts you in the "upper 1/3 of available prices". $5.26? Solidly in the Middle. $4.76 or less will put you on the "short-bus" bottom 1/3 rd. Friday's settle? Mid-pack. FYI.

Charts don't matter. Ok then, Don't look at this one. Close your eyes. But 2023 Corn is At Contract highs. No one wants to hedge corn in the bin; or 2022 corn, much less think about 2023. But this is a good development if you grow corn. Or if you speculate on corn price.
Like Forrest Gump said, "I am not a smart man, but I know May Beans have big resistance at $17.00" Bull Or Bear, we can probably at least agree on that? :)
