Well it Seems the USA Crop has Bigger problems than their telling us!

[SASKFARMER3]

The USDA is funny how it reports info, their better than stats Canada who is now informing the country what were probably going to seed in spring 2011.
But lately all USA private consultants are starting to look at the USA crop in general and its dropping every single day.
According to a report on agrimarketing.com, early harvest results from seed corn fields are running much lower than expected–and it’s not expected to get much better.
Linn Group estimated the soybean crop at 2.997 billion bu, with a yield of 41 bu/acre. They were at 43 just a month earlier.
The brokerage firm pegged the 2011 corn crop at 12.391 billion bu, with an average yield of 149.1 bu/acre. Earlier this month, it estimated corn output at 12.775 billion bu, with an average yield of 152.1 bu/acre. The latest numbers are below the USDA's estimate of 12.914 billion bu, with an average yield of 153 bu an acre, and the 2010 harvest of 12.447 billion bu.
Dr. Michael Cordonnier has lowered his U.S. soybean yield estimate to 40.5 bu/acre down 0.5 bu/acre from his previous estimate.
It goes on and on and on.
Now throw in Drew's forecast for a return to La Nina and the plains from Texas to ND are dryer this winter.
HM how fricking much winter wheat will actually get planted and make it till next spring in the USA. Its starting to look like some crops are going to maybe take out the last boom.

I just love acronyms. My company for instance. SAM inc. --- it stands for Semper Ad Meliora, a Latin phrase taught to me by our literary tangential friend Mr. Pallett. SAM was suggested by another good friend to mean Single Animal Management, or as another friend said, Sustainable Agricultural Missions. Or,from my son, who after I made a trip to London to try to attract money from a sheikh to bridge finance our packing plant; Saudi Arabian Money..LOL Whatever - I am Sam - Sam I am - and how I love green eggs and ham.

Just having a little fun,and don't forget that this process will need us to have a little fun from time to time.

So what about a couple more acronyms. PAKS..... Seems to me that a good idea takes a pack of people to make it work. So in my first post I described a little PAK of people. I am going to take the liberty of introducing this little PAK and let you figure out who the S guy is in this game when we end it by running in PAKS. He is also on the Agriville site by the way. Or maybe you will introduce yourself when you are ready S.

So P is for Purecountry. A Passionate young farmer who got the ball rolling. A is for ARC, or Agrico Realty Advisors who's partner happened to be a passionate friend of Purecountry. Purecountry introduced ARC to K, yours truly and mighty passionately ,who in turn introduced everyone to S. Cool hay!!!

Visionary plans are not all that complicated.

Better get up out of my arm chair and gather up some human and bovine animals for (the) ARC ---- the new conditional "bridge" owner of the beef packing plant at Balzac....

Have a wonderful September everyone.

The other option would be a regulated market. The only thing worse than knowing that your enemy is screwing you is thinking that your friend is a friend and finding out that they have been screwing you all along. At least with capitalism, one can take alternative actions if they think they are being screwed whereas if government is screwing you, there is nothing we can do accept "trust them, mother knows best".

[Choice2U]

Should be "except" rather than "accept" but using "accept" actually makes this an unintentional pun.

Randy you just must have too much time on yer hands. Yer a poet and don't know it. lol

Anyhow might Balzac actually get around to working?
