Ohio State extension specialists describe a 2019 season of uneven planting windows, with Wood County leaving 52% of acres unplanted. Over 80% of the state was abnormally dry or in drought by season's end, yet reported yields were surprisingly good.
Yields holding up despite planting delays and drought limit the supply tightening in the eastern Corn Belt. The outcome is neutral for feed prices.
After 445 past neutral weather events, CORN moved a median +0.1% over 5 sessions (52% higher; middle half -1.4% to +1.6%), and +0.7% over 20.
After 324 past neutral weather events, SOY moved a median +0.0% over 5 sessions (52% higher; middle half -1.4% to +1.7%), and +0.7% over 20.
