Speculation is still running high over the significance of damage done to 2017 grain and oilseed production.

Argentina has come to the rescue for traders — at least for now.

World Weather, Inc. believes colder weather will occur without much dryness relief.

An unusually dry autumn impacted unirrigated wheat production areas with limited soil moisture.

Even though crops got started favorably, the combination of recent hot temperatures and ongoing dryness may be changing the situation rather quietly.

Weather conditions at the end of summer 2016 were just about ideal for U.S. hard red winter wheat areas.

Even though hot weather has been limited, the dryness is likely taking away yield from corn, sunseed and a number of other crops.

Despite the opinions of some weather forecasters, conditions in the U.S. Midwest so far this summer have been almost ideal from a corn and soybean development perspective.

July likely will start building a little yield pressure on U.S. corn, sorghum and soybean production.

Dryness is certainly expected in the United States this summer, but will it be a 2012 style drought?
