Al Kluis, Kluis Advisors, says that the markets will react day-to-day to Iowa’s rain chances.
“The weather models are going to flip. Last week, the models showed hot and dry and tough growing conditions. Now, five days later, the models project 3 to 6 inches of rain with a bull’s eye on Iowa. The reality: somewhere in between. If Iowa gets 3 to 6 inches, then the problem is probably solved; 1 to 2 inches helps, but does not solve the long-term moisture deficit,” Kluis stated in a note to customers.
Kluis added, “What will happens in Iowa? When will the rain actually hit? Crop conditions have taken a big hit in Iowa over the last three weeks and are likely to move lower again in the report next Monday. The focus is on Iowa as the No. 1 corn production state and No. 2 in soybeans. However, the dry conditions and lower yield projections also cover almost all of Minnesota.”
