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?

Conditions cannot change quickly enough to allow La Niña much influence on Northern Hemisphere wheat production in 2016.

The 2016 world crop already may be a cat on its fourth or fifth life after dealing with prolonged dryness in U.S. hard red winter wheat country and a deep freeze earlier in March across the same region.

Delaying the onset of La Niña takes some of the extreme out of the expected weather.

Worry over restricted rainfall quickly switched to concern over too much moisture.

If Neutral ENSO conditions occur next summer, there will not be nearly as much heat in key crop areas and there may be a few weeks of cooler biased conditions along with a more normal rainfall distribution.

Despite the recent United Nation’s statement that El Niño will intensify through the end of year, it already has peaked.

This year’s planting season in the south began with low soil moisture.

El Niño has been known to create many problems around the world, but it is not all bad.
