Fertilizer is a key driver. Takes more fert for corn than beans. Producer commitments to seed companies made beans the favorite planting seed for 2022 based on the early fert prices seen in Aug/Sep'21. So, 2022 planting decisions were made earlier than normal. (We committed to a 2022 corn crop in Sep 2021 then promptly booked fert needs, got lucky. Crop is planted as of 3/3/22) Now, in the Midwest planting beans are hard to source. Producers who paused/waited to commit to what they will plant in 2022 find themselves in the corn camp. If you're a marginal producer in the corn camp with high fert prices, you'll use less fert, reduce your plant population and try to be profitable enough to play the game in 2023. There's still time and maybe some planting beans will surface as a few producers decide a late shift to reduce bean acres and go corn acres. The ground is still frozen here in the Midwest, so there is time, but the big decisions have been made.Spoony Love said:
For CORN to be the bigger story, I am assuming it will be a fertilizer issue?

Honestly, sitting out the first hour is a tactic used by some big names (i.e. John Carter). Smart decision here.Bob Knights Liver said:

A major point of contention in the contract dispute is the lack of a "stock rally girl" during stressful times in the OR.
I need team players here!!

Opening 30 minutes might end up being the tightest it's been in a long time.
