Happy Tax Day to Everyone!
Markets are all lower due to longer range forecasts that look drier (although this week looks wet) and more importantly, outside markets that are all negative. Crude oil, metals, and equities all lower in early trade. Chinese GPD also lower than expected.
Western corn belt feeling much better about soil moisture with good rainfall the last 10 days. Although the rain has been a good thing, we do need a window to get corn in the ground. Planting progress will be out this afternoon and will be minimal, especially if compared directly to the rapid pace of last year.
Corn/Soy both down 10-12 cents in early trade.
