S & W Trading market analyst Andy Shissler thinks farmers will see stronger commodity markets once the combines start to run. “In Iowa and Illinois, the corn will have a difficult time getting to black layer. We’re going to have 28 percent moisture corn and it won’t dry down.” Shissler doesn’t expect a big chunk of the corn crop to reach maturity. “2009 was similar as we stayed at 28 percent moisture and it was a problem. We never got the heat units. I think the USDA is way off on their yield. It’s hard to guess an immature crop,” says Shissler.
