|
| It seems like everything is fake these days: fake news, fake ice cream, fake money, fake teeth, fake knees, fake hips and fake identities. Bald guys are wearing toupees, women are getting fake boobs and fake people pester me on the phone with robo calls from fraudulent folks. Fake "reality" TV show stars in Hollywood are even creating fake grades and fake SAT test scores so their kids can get into Harvard and Yale. I suppose their diplomas will be made with fake sheepskin. |

Sleeping Frog Moon favors fishermen this time of year |
| There is a seasonal exhaustion in the air. The ground is cool and subdued as the hills turn dusky and purple by late afternoon. I pass cleared fields full of stubble, the lank, dark stalks of corn. Milkweeds, where monarchs deposited their eggs, have opened their pods, and the white silk lies over browning grass like wisps of cotton, or is concentrated in spots like the downy feathers of a chicken caught by a fox. -- John Hay |

US economy is impacting commodity futures |
| While US export sales of corn and soybeans remain well behind last year, trade is split in how this will impact balance sheets. Some analysts are concerned demand is currently over-projected and will be scaled back as the marketing year progresses. Others disagree and believe sales are just slow to build and we will see an increase once our leading competitors exhaust their inventory. Both scenarios are possible, but the longer it takes our demand to build, the more the market will become skeptical of it happening. |
