Planting weather, drought

Where are you located, and how concerned are you about the drought, whether that means in your backyard or over the nation.

Personally, I'd rather plant in the dust, and hope for the rains afterwards. We seem to always get a much better crop when we aren't fighting compaction from too much spring rains.

Do you think the markets will try to rally some based on the drought as we get deeper into planting, or is there too many other bearish factors to keep the drought from being a big enough headline?

I realize any answer is all speculation, but it's fun to have the conversation, anyway!

I’m located in central ar and have been ready to plant since the 15th or April and have been to wet to plant since with no dry weather in the forecast. My insurance cutoff is June 15 for soybeans. At this point I’m just hoping to miss rains and be able plant before cut off
