⚠️A powerful cold front could possibly bring a big problem to the Midwest next Fri/Sat. Latest GFS hinting at a widespread month+ early frost. If this forecast continues to suggest upper 30s it would be record cold and a big problem for the US grains. #AGwx #corn #soybeans

"Super" cold to continue through this week, with many records falling along the way. And after temps hit below zero in N MN and into Canada Thursday evening, Canada gets some snow!

Corn: How many bushels are needed to cover expenses in 2025 vs previous years? This is a very interesting look at what is happening using national averages. It's easy to see the profit years. Those appear to be long gone as costs have risen quickly. Will yield ever catch up or

It's not desperation time, but a verification of this active, stormy March forecast would do a lot to quell drought concerns for many as we head into the 2026 growing season. For parts of the ag-belt, this drought can be traced back 14+ months to fall of 2024.
