Corn That Won't Get Planted This Year Could Shatter All U.S. Records
« on: June 08, 2019, 07:38:01 pm »
Bloomberg by By Michael Hirtzer, Isis Almeida, and Dominic Carey 5/30/2019


    Prevented plant claims could surge to about 6 million acres
    Corn planting pace is slowest on record amid relentless rain

For months, traders debated which crops U.S. farmers would sow this year. That discussion is now turning to how many acres may be left unplanted as relentless rainfall sweeps the Midwest.

Rabobank is predicting an unprecedented number of unplanted acres of corn, the most widely grown American crop. A Bloomberg survey of 10 traders and analysts indicates growers could file insurance claims for about 6 million corn acres they haven’t been able to sow, almost double the record in 2013.

Analysts predict U.S. 2019 corn acreage loss at 6 million

Corn futures surged more than 20% to a three-year high over the past few weeks on fears farmers wouldn’t be able to get seeds in the ground ahead of crop-insurance deadlines. So-called prevented plant claims reached 3.6 million acres in 2013, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Farm Service Agency.

2019: End of Cheap Food, Meat Rationing, and Free Beer

by Ice Age Farmer | Jun 4, 2019

A staggering 30+% of US Corn planting did not happen. We are witnessing cascading, catastrophic failures of modern agriculture during this Solar Minimum, and the establishment is frantically pushing its Warming agenda–literally offering free beer–as they move to take total control of the food supply. Start growing your own food today.

So, instead of corn not being sold to China or used for ethanol, we will just not have enough growing

Iowa farmers remain unpleased, but it is Nature's fault, not DT.

Farmers who could not plant will get 'prevent plant' payments...

Those who got their crops in will benefit from higher prices...

Win... win...

And the corn that is planted is spotty to downright sketchy.

The rains will stop. Farmers will plant.  It is what they have done for years. Floods happen. Drought Happens.  Life goes on and the people will have the  grain and the beans and the whatever. 

But, what will never change is the doom and gloom of the naysayers

In this part of the belt we're at the wall to be able to plant corn and get a crop. Alot will be going to beans, something else, or nothing.

We were kind of fortunate here. It was rainy but not terrible. Not a lot of late frost so I was able to get my (small batch of) rutabagas in the ground early and they've been thriving so far.

I do notice quite a few of the farms around here still have quite a bit of open field. Part of that might be the weather, part of that might be the dairy farms shutting down and the corresponding lack of a need to grow feed.

In my part of Texas the corn looks great.  More rain than usual for this time of year.

I can imagine there's an equivalent to an area the size of Nebraska, that is unable to plant corn for this Summer.  Still under water.
