I think the article is really hyping the prepper crap..... Regardless of what it is used for, there will be less this year. Many of the areas that grow the most corn either haven't been planted because of flooding or lost much of the crop to flooding after planting. I'm not sure how well the late crop will come up on places that were eventually able to plant. Hopefully it will turn out well. Below is a state by state corn production ranking from 2016. Many of the areas that put out big numbers for corn have been affected by the rain. In-laws came down yesterday from IN and confirmed that the fields look awful up there. https://beef2live.com/story-states-produce-corn-0-107129

We have had too much rain is this part of Missouri but corn is looking good. Then you havent had too much. Ask the folks in the upper midwest farm belt.

Came across the Midwest last week on our annual prairie dog trip. Well over half the fields in the Midwest were sitting fallow and obviously wet. Never seen a year where they weren’t all planted at this time. Spoke with some farmers in a few diners and truck stops and they didn’t think it was hype. Going to be a hard year for some of them.

Nothing new. Crops are almost always damaged somewhere and grow elsewhere. The farmers who have a good crop make a lot of money because prices go up. Those that don't have a good crop are bailed out by the government. In the rare years when everyone has a good crop prices are so low that no one makes money.
Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

In my opinion, I feel that it isn't all hype and we will see higher prices but that is farming for good and bad years
Around here in Delta Colorado, the sweet corn, feed corn and hay fields a lot of them are being converted into hemp fields
So there will be winners and losers in a year or so on the hemp. The price of corn and hay will go up and the hemp losers will go back to where the money is good on growing what the demand is in the area to pay the bills
That is just the way it is with just about everything be it pineapples,oil or pork bellies...stock market is no different

Should we have a barrel of corn next to the 16 pounds H4350 powder, 5 AR's & the 50 bricks of 22 ammo?

Then we have all those beans the Chinese aren't buying and farmers are whining about. Tofu anyone?
Screw corn, barley produces much better ethanol.

SWcowboy Oh, man, double whammy there. A lot more people are gonna have the munchies but there's gonna be fewer Fritos and Doritos to go around. Well, at least those rioters will be pretty laid back....

Sounds like a stock market ploy to me.... this stuff happens SOMEWHERE, EVERY year... its normal. But folks will try to make a buck over panic every last time. Ding ding ding! We have a winner. Gotta get started early to make sure you get some bailout money instead of working.

Grew up on a farm in west central Ks. Family still owns it. This year may be the best wheat crop ever, in the 100 plus years it’s been in our family. Abnormal high rain fall caused it. Some win, some lose, and the opposite will happen, often. It’s farming, it’s not very predictable, other than if you are carrying a large debt load, you are on thin ice.
