Dear Charlie et.el;
I see Indiana just declared 36 counties disaster areas...
Beans, corn and canola up .30/bu tonight... wheat up .15/bu
Rain in the mid west didn't make a dint... and the next 10 days are forcast to be under a dry ridge.
Here is the forcast at Franklin IN;
Today Partly cloudy. Chance of showers and isolated thunderstorms until midday. Highs in the upper 80s. Southwest winds 5 to 10 mph. Chance of precipitation 20 percent.
Tonight Partly cloudy. Lows around 70. Southwest winds 5 to 10 mph.
Monday Mostly sunny. Highs in the mid 90s. Southwest winds 5 to 10 mph.
Monday night Mostly clear. Lows in the lower 70s. Southwest winds 5 to 10 mph.
Tuesday Partly cloudy. Highs in the mid 90s. Southwest winds 5 to 10 mph.
Tuesday night Partly cloudy. Lows in the mid 70s.
Wednesday Partly cloudy with a 40 percent chance of thunderstorms. Highs in the lower 90s.
Wednesday night Partly cloudy with a 30 percent chance of thunderstorms. Lows in the lower 70s.
Thursday Partly cloudy with a 20 percent chance of thunderstorms. Highs in the upper 80s.
Thursday night Partly cloudy. Lows in the upper 60s.
Friday through saturday Mostly clear. Highs in the upper 80s. Lows in the mid 60s.

More Hot And Dry Conditions This Week
A reasonably strong southwestern U.S. monsoon flow Friday and Saturday has weakened during this weekend. At the same time, high pressure ridging over the central Plains and Midwest continues, with its combination of promoting very hot conditions along with inhibiting moisture inflow from the Gulf of Mexico.
As a result, every major U.S. crop region has further stress in store for this week. The Southern Plains has much the same situation. Above to much above normal temperatures and below normal precipitation mean that major losses to corn and soybeans can be expected due to severe heat and little rainfall.
...
The Northern Plains region has so far escaped much of the drought and heat impact this season, but that is changing this weekend. Heat advisories are in effect today (Sunday. As for the next 10 days--above to much above normal temperatures and mostly below normal precipitation will deplete soil moisture and increase stress on developing corn and soybeans and filling spring wheat.
The Delta had a bit of a drought reprieve last week with some moderate to locally heavy rain. However, that situation is changing this week. A return to above normal temperatures and below normal rainfall during the next 10 days will increase stress on pod filling soybeans.
Finally, as one might guess, the cotton country in the Texas High Plains is in the same dry and hot circumstance as the Southern Plains row crop areas. Dry conditions and temperatures of 95-105 Fahrenheit during the next 10 days mean more stress to dryland cotton fields with major crop losses likely.

Nice to see a good long rain in central Alberta... just finished putting fungicide on Sat... WOW!
