Planned Change in Corn Acres From 2019 to 2020 - 3/10/20 (POLL RESULTS)
1,656 FBN members, spanning across 5 million acres, weighed in on today’s poll where we asked if they were planning to increase or decrease their corn acres in 2020 compared to 2019.

Brian ***** spoke at our local case IH dealer last week. He thinks the USDA is lying about 2019 yields to keep prices down/cheep food. Look for USDA to lower final number by August. 🤷♂️

Likely not going to shift to spring wheat in ND/MN in my opinion because wheat prices are horrible and early planting is how a producer achieves high yields and with the wet conditions and potential flooding that might be hard to accomplish.
