schwartz: the usda asked that i go to herminie and provide an independent evaluation of the problems to determine if it was severe enough to warrant funding. i've worked in a lot of communities in pennsylvania, i've seen a lot of things that were pretty startling, however, the trip to herminie absolutely, um... astounded me. i wrote a letter to usda, saying that it was the worst thing i'd ever seen in pennsylvania and that if they could award funding, that they do so. and they did. they did. over $15 million, grant and loan, for that project. mcmillen: and it took years to get funding. what kept this project going was the steadfastness of the community -- they knew they needed sewage, and they just kept plugging along till we got through every issue that came up. the project will consist of 44 miles of line that we're going to put in, and a treatment plant. it will permanently eliminate the problem, the health hazards. i anticipate a definite regrowth in herminie, and it will be a good thing for everybody. zdravecky: maybe it won't help me too much because i'm an old lady, but whoeve

it's mainly due to the fact that july, the july usda report is revised on the down side.eally the report to be so bearish, but it was extremely bearish. and that grew to a falling price as we've seen in the last month. so the only bullish crop we are positive about is actually soybeans. and this is due to the fact that they were planted much later than expected due to very wet weather in may. so these fears of a possible early frost of soybeans has brought them up a little bit. but for wheat and corn, there is not positive news because ultimately corn is at the highest level since 1936. so this is kind of -- production is expected to be extremely high independently on slightly weather concern. >> but at the end of the day, doesn't it all just fend depend the weather? what's the risk to changes in your forecast given to what we'll be seeing in august, september, october? >> everything can change pretty fast. and this is what we experienced last year. so if you look at the number of areas which might suffer from a drought or from extremely dry conditions, those can change f
