There was some softening in cropland cash rents across the country given low to negative margins for row crop producers. However, this largely matches what I heard in Missouri all winter- rents were flat to slightly higher.

Plug for my weekly grain market newsletter, again. Why do I do all this work week in and week out? 1. My hope is it is helpful to Missouri Agriculturalists- if not let me know what would be. 2. Share resources, 3. Selfishly, it is part of my feedback loop. muext.us/weeklycommodityupda…

Friends- help me do 2 things: 1. Share this post broadly to reach all of Missouri's Ag Industry and 2. Take a look for yourself! Annually, @MUExtension collects opinions of Missouri's ag land values including buyers and sellers to support decision making. muext.us/mofarmlandvalues

Proper ID is key. We confirmed tar spot in northwest MO this week. Don’t be fooled by lookalikes. @MUplantclinic @MizzouIPM @MUExtAgEnviron @MissouriCorn

Tar spot management starts with proper ID. These are not tar spot.

Shameless plug- I inherited a grain marketing newsletter when a Mizzou Ext. colleague retired. The newsletter is mostly just fundamental updates and upcoming dates, but I include some humor too. Missouri agriculturalist are welcome to subscribe here: muext.us/weeklycommodityupda…
