It's God's Plan

It's God's plan and we are going with it.
  Warm weather, dry soils, and big equipment is a recipe for getting corn planted and that is what we have this month.  Progress is several weeks ahead of normal and with the increase of corn acreage over cotton in the southern states our harvest will be earlier than even 2011 was.  850 million bushels could be harvested prior to September 1st (considered the beginning of a normal crop year).  This will substantially reduce the risk of extremely low grain stocks. 
   It's in farmers nature to want to feed the world and look forward to the challenge. We plan, prepare, plant and harvest striving to make each year better. We also know that everything is in God's hands.  After little rain this spring some is beginning to fall this weekend with more to follow.  Planters will put more seed in the ground as conditions improve.  Because so many days were suitable for fieldwork already, most fertilizers have been applied leaving little options to change from corn to soybeans.  I think that there is little doubt that we will plant a record amount of corn acres this year.  It does seem that God had this plan to help us fed the world and we are going with it.
