I agree with you John but the shortage isn't here yet. We still have some corn in the bins from past years. Should that be sold at the high prices?
I think they are trying to hold the price down till Oct. That's when the true yields will be seen.

It was and is dry but the heat caused more problems as well.
Don't feel bad about your good crops. Enjoy them.
