Good Morning: Overnight severe weather occurred in parts of western Texas into Kansas and western Missouri producing hail, damaging winds and tornadoes along with excessive rain and flooding. This was just the beginning of a full week of adverse weather which continues to raise concern for spring planting and crop conditions. Worry over additional spring planting delays will continue to move higher as prevent plant date for corn quickly approaches. The odds of leaving significant corn acres unplanted has become reality and worry over soybean planting is increasing. Back in 2014, Brazil had announced the launching of its first ethanol plant based 100% on corn rather than sugarcane. Today, Brazil is set to build a second plant and announced plans to build 3 more while existing plants plan to revamp existing mills to run on corn as well as sugarcane as Brazilian farmers ramp up corn production. Canadian soybeans have become the latest victim in the trade spat with China. Canadian soybeans are being held in Chinese ports until several tests for plant pathogens have been performed. These inspections signal that tensions over the arrest of Huawei executive has spilled over beyond canola. National corn planting progress came in at 49% complete this week, up from 30% last week but remaining behind 78% last year and the 80% five-year average pace; emergence of the crop rose from 10 to 19%, compared to 47% LY and the 49% 5YA. Soybean planting rose from 9% to 19% this week, versus 53% last year and the 47% average pace, with emergence initially reported at 5% as of Sunday night, behind 24% LY and the 17% 5YA. Spring wheat planting advanced from 45 to 70% this week, down from 76% LY nd the 80% 5YA, with emergence up from 10 to 26% this week, versus 34% LY and the 51% 5YA. Winter wheat heading rose from 42 to 54%, versus 59% LY and the 66% 5YA, with condition ratings of that crop up two points this week at 66% good/excellent, up from 36% LY and the 45% 5YA number. Have a great day! Wayne Kollis - Melissa Peters - Mike Rosenberg - Matt Zeman - Austin Behrendsen
