The fall price here is $14.19 for beans and $7.57 for corn. Many crops around here are hit and miss though. I don't farm too much and I even have some good and bad because the rain was here and there, but mostly not there in July. There's a premium of 20 cents on top of those fall prices up to tomorrow. I have some 2.6 beans that are real close, but not tomorrow. How's your guys crop look? North of here (Mid NW IN) guys crops look better than average, south was too dry. I'm amazed my beans on sand didn't just fry during July. Luckily there was adequate subsoil moisture for them to survive on. I even found some 4 bean pods on those stressed 2606 Asgrows.
 
Corn is about as high as it can go. Unless gas goes to $4 plus. If ethanol is not profittable the plants will back down and so will the corn price.

Beans have to rise a little yet to be in line with corn pricewise.

The grain is not there to harvest nation wide so the prices will remain strong.

Just my view your veiw may not agree.

I deliver approximately a truckload of corn(18 tons) a week to a local mill. I started right in the first of the year. Last years harvest was 700 tons. Last week I got $298/ton. Should be considerably more this week. I'm HOPING this years crop will be 2/3 of last years!(And I planted 10% more acres!!!!)
 
I agree. I don't think the grain is there either. Should be interesting when it all gets started and everyone can really see the yields instead of just estimating. I know I won't have nearly as much as the last two years. I thought my corn was going to be not so great across the board until I really got looking into some agrigold planted on some good dark ground. Those couple farms will save my backside.
 
I heard last night some corn yields in north AL. It has been dry here in southern mid. TN and north AL. I was watching a buddy of mine shell some that was around 165 bu/acre dry land corn. Not the best ground. 2 other numbers were 228 and 241 bu./acre. These were also both dry land corn. Dekalb brand corn on all of them.
