Corn and soybean planting is nearly wrapped up and ahead of schedule. We even got early corn crop ratings: 68% good-to-excellent (think LC Greenwood) this week, down from 75% last year's initial ratings (Mean Joe Greene vibes). We'd like to see these ratings climb solidly into the 70's in the coming weeks. Want to lock in great value on chicken wings (or other markets)?
