Corn and Soybean Production Prospects Improving | www.farmdoc.uiuc.edu
The effects of late planting, cool-wet soils in May, and flooding in June can't be overcome by favorable weather in July and August. USDA's yield and production estimates may well turn out to be on the optimistic side when we finally get the crop in the bin.

EPA delays RFS waiver ruling | www.ethanolproducer.com
The request for a partial waiver in the RFS by Texas Gov. Perry is likely to be denied, largely due to a 25% reduction in corn prices caused by favorable weather in the Midwest. This corn crop, however, will be extremely difficult to get an accurate estimate on prior to getting it out of the field, so future price movements will probably bring the issue of the need for changes in ethanol...

Brazil May Seize Fertilizer Deposits as Prices Surge | www.bloomberg.com
Just like this time last year, traders in Chicago may believe that Brazilian farmers are poised to significantly expand soybean acreage, as they have moved prices above $15 per bushel. However, just as they misjudged them last year, they may be doing it again, as fertilizer prices have doubled, and have brought potential net returns on Brazilian soy back down enough that a significant expansion...
