I don;t get it. The corn is done. Never made kernels past 20% or so unless it was irrigated. How is 3 days of rain in september going to help next year's crop?This rain will be gone by then. Any profits yet to be made on late crops were eaten up by the failed corn crop. Prices for gas and food has skyrocked 12 % in 3 weeks.
