A Pleasant Surprise

We got into one of our historically tougher fields today.  It has a lot of clay knolls, and always has some ugly looking areas at planting time.  I was expecting to have some of the best yields we've gotten out of that field this year, but was keeping my hopes realistic, like around 175 bushels per acre.  To my great surprise, it is rivaling some of our very best dirt.  So far, the monitor shows 206 bushel average, and the last three or four semi loads have averaged 215 to 220 bushels.  Based on that small anecdote, I would short corn futures if I were you.
