Marketline Report for Wednesday, May 19th Wednesday May 19th, 2021 This is Bob Larson with the Market Line Report for Wednesday, May 19th. Corn planting reaches near record levels, but still off slightly. From the floor of the CME in Chicago, here’s Scott Shellady. SHELLADY … “First of all, let’s get the planting numbers out of the way. Corn planting are 80% complete. I mean, we were looking for around 84%, but still that’s close to a record pace. I think emergence may be a concern in many areas in the south and eastern Corn Belt but the wetness is now starting to creep in a little bit and I think maybe that could of maybe stemmed the tide a little bit today, no pun intended. I mean, we were up about a percent today, six and a bit, pennies. Just keep in mind that we’re off to a record, close to a record start but I think that right now we also do have some wetness concerns.”
