October brings green days for grain market

Corn and wheat are the stars this week. By the day's end, December corn had risen by an impressive 12¢. Oh, it zoomed up, closing as high as 23¢. Now, soybeans played a bit hard to get in the morning but eventually joined the party, finishing 2¢ up. What a way to usher in the new month. 

While farmers are in full harvest mode, not many of the crops are hitting the market.  

The stock market had a bit of a roller-coaster day, ending in a downswing. But the US dollar? It's soaring like an eagle, setting new highs for the year. However, oil prices took a little tumble. 

On the livestock side: October hogs took a slight dip and a heads up, there's a USDA report on the horizon. And whispers are, that Brazil's weather might shake things up.

Video: We Killed Our Soybeans… Burnt To Death!

we’re saying goodbye to the straight pipe on our sprayer! After running it that way for a while, it was finally time to install a new muffler and quiet things down a bit. Once the sprayer was ready to go, we got some hot loads mixed up and headed to the field to do some post-emerge soybean spraying.

To wrap up the day, we tackled a replant situation in one of our soybean fields. Earlier this spring, we burned off some washed-up corn stalks and residue, but unfortunately the heat ended up killing some of the soybeans underneath.
