My video (above) addresses the following:

1) How I forecasted the end of major heat and dryness for Midwest grains, quite early, three weeks ago.

2) However, a once-in-20-years event: Midwest flooding in parts of Illinois, Indiana and Ohio is lowering soybean crop ratings a bit.

3) A look at the big US heat dome I predicted moving away from most of the corn belt. It will bring cool Midwest conditions for most soybean areas.

4) Seasonality and demand for the soybean market

5) One of our highest confidence trades several weeks ago (sugar) and what our BestWeather Spider trade sentiment suggests
