#3 The irony of farming is that a good harvest is only good if you are the only farmer who has it. If everybody has one, it can be worse than a bad harvest.

#4 We had SNOWFALL in APRIL which severely damaged wheat yields. And believe me drought is an everpresent threat here. We're in the Great Plains after all.

#5 But will it affect the ethanol corn harvest?

No. If the heat is up the corn will love it.

For the city folk. I remember one year when the heat was in the 90's, corn was 7-8 foot tall, you could stand in the field on a windless day and actually hear the corn grow. Kind of a quiet snapping sound.
