Did someone say COOKIES??? Quite happy to see so many of you folks leaning into some meaningful sales now. Markets aren't logical; they are psychological.  At this time of year, there is a lot clanging and banging with weather and fundamentals, but it's also normal human behaviour to worry about things that probably aren't ever going to happen anyways. That's why we need to try and keep our heads free of too much noise and look at cost of production based targets while the cookie plate is going around. New crop corn approaching $50/t premium to where some old crop panic sales had to be made a couple months ago.

If you plan on growing wheat this fall, we are over $300/t. If you can hit 100 bu that's over $800/ac with no straw value. I have worked for less! We also just added '26 wheat bids and they are right there too.How sweet is that?!

There is an old saying that says, "Sell in May and go away". Not that we want you to go away but over time there is pretty good data to back this up. I'm not convinced the Midwest rain isn't a good thing for the crop in the long run. The unknown is giving us opportunity now. A month ago we were supposed to kill the crop with a drought. It reminds me of a conversation about 25 yrs ago in July with Neil Hannah and a few others lamenting a big drop in corn prices. Neil asked how we were doing with the new bin setup and I said I got lucky with a target order that hit around Mother's Day and I was all sold  out. Neil quickly replied, "You make your own luck and if you are selling corn with market orders it doesn't have a damn thing to do with luck". I've never forgot that. Miss that guy.
