The only viable options are cotton corn milo and cattle. Soybeans are a crap shoot. No one to buy sesame. Too hot for wheat and veggies

Best of luck. My wife's family has a 3000+ acre farm in Iowa and I'm aware of the equipment costs needed.

Did they get hit by the wind storm?? That was brutal

No. They're in the southern part of the state and the wind storm hit north of Des Moines, IIRC.

Hope they have a successful harvest. I hear the yields are supposed to be great. We had record corn crop this year, still can't make a dime

We were up there for the 4th and they felt good about things.

Latest models on these storms makes me think they have no idea what or where both storms will hit and path afterwards.

Haven't seen such a spread in variables in some time.

One of the Houston weather guys just retweeted this from another meteorologist. Looks like landfall just west of Houston. We'll see what they say at 10 AM when the weather service releases their latest models.

Cattle prices suck, milo sucks. Cotton is only thing that has a chance to make a profit.

Milo has a basis this year that we haven't seen in 5+ years. $2 a bushel over at port of Houston and I think ADM down at Corpus is similar. Guys that planted that lucked out this year.

Know several farmers that just defoliated here in central Texas hoping it doesn't rain, but the cattle guys are full on doing rain dances in their pasture to attract one of those systems over. Unfortunately it will help some and hurt others depending on what happens.

Good luck getting your stuff out, I work for a lot of guys that grow cotton and looking at budgets it's a scary crop to run numbers on since the costs are so much higher than most other row crops.

Ya milo actually is somewhat attractive for the first time in a while but it's still marginal at best. Unfortunately milo all depends on China, just like cotton. Hard deal to make work but someone has to do it I guess.

Eh don't sleep on milo, guys did not "luck out" if you were paying attention. Despite a trade war China still had a huge need for the crop. The Southern Hemisphere crop was slammed with drought leading up to planting season in the US. Drastically lower input costs, strong outlook going forward, and new markets being added for major exports (SE Asia aquaculture market) making it a strong crop going forward.

Good luck to the folks in the Cajun Riviera. I know they got wiped out in 2005.
