we still have plenty of corn. we have plenty of wheat, and we have plenty of soybeans, and that hasn't changed despite some of the movement around the chairs and the report. >> ted, what did you think of that report out this week? >> yeah, i think the three biggest takeaways is it wasn't as bearish as the funds had hoped, and we didn't start there. now, they still remained at a very, very short position, so the question is are they going to come in and defend that position or are they going to continue to exit? and after a day like today where we started heavy and we were able to come back you wonder if they might have to be looking to exit some of those positions, thinking that the lows are in for now. the other one is, where stocks are. if you look at onarm stocks i think that a lot of us were surprised that there's less corn in farmers^ hands than what we were expecting. 61% of this crop is stored on farm, which is the lowest number that we've seen since 2012, so that was a bit of a surprise. that might mean th

iowa has led the nation in corn production for 22 consecutive years. the average per-acre yield of 192 bushels also is a new record. soybean farmers did very well too, producing a record crop. at 554 million bushels, this year's iowa soybean harvest exceeds the 2005 record by 5 percent. the per-acre yield also beat the 2020 record. and iowa beat out illinois as the top producing soybean state for the first time since 2012. nebraska also produced records with 1.69 billion bushels of corn and 306 million bushels of soybeans. u.s. district court judge mark bennett says the iowa supreme court should settle legal questions about whether farmland drainage districts can be held liable for befofo a lawsuit filed by des moines water works can proceed. the utility is suing 10 drainage districts in buena vista, sac and calhoun counties over farm nitrates in the raccoon river. but there are many questions that have never been decided by the courts, such as immunity for drainage districts and which constitutiona l protections might apply to parties that challenge d
