Bennett Consulting Matt Bennett is hopeful Hurricane Ida’s damage will not cause long term export delays. “They were talking about nine inches of rain over the weekend. Hurricane Katrina had two to three times that in areas and there’s a big difference. Hopefully, the worst is over and we see shipments.” Bennett doesn’t expect to see excessive rains in the Eastern Corn Belt. “For the most part, I feel like the soybean crop is in good shape right now, even with recent rains.”
