Actually, not a big deal. Soybean demand is a world market. Brazil at 115.5MMT production will continue to grow supply carryover. Is the getting "China committed" part noteworthy in the context of current trade relations? and Yes.

Does anyone here know what number this study is in the total number of studies done into glyphosates?

Record flooding? Headline or truth? He may have let his superlatives become a little hyperbolic ... "The 2011 Missouri River floods was a flooding event on the Missouri River in the United States. The flooding was triggered by record snowfall in the Rocky Mountains of Montana and Wyoming along with near-record spring rainfall in central and eastern Montana. All six major dams along the Missouri River released record amounts of water to prevent overflow which led to flooding threatening several towns and cities along the river from Montana to Missouri; in particular Bismarck, North Dakota; Pierre, South Dakota; Dakota Dunes, South Dakota; South Sioux City, Nebraska, Sioux City, Iowa; Omaha, Nebraska; Council Bluffs, Iowa; Kansas City, Missouri; Jefferson City, Missouri, as well as putting many smaller towns at risk. According to the National Weather Service, in the second half of the month of May 2011, almost a year's worth of rain fell over the upper Missouri River basin. Extremely heavy rainfall in conjunction with an estimated 212 percent of normal snowpack in the Rocky Mountains contributed to this flooding event.[1]"From Wikipedia so it must be true... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_Missouri_River_FloodI remember flying over it - very impressive amount of water.

nmaahc.si.edu/explore/stories/collection/great-mississippi-river-flood-1927Devastating floods alter landscapes, ruin lives, and change the course of history. This was true in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, in 1889, along the Ohio River in 1937, following Hurricane Katrina in 2005, and in 2016, Baton Rouge. These terrible floods bring to mind the most destructive flood in U.S. history, the Great Mississippi River Flood of 1927. The Museum owns a remarkable set of photographs commissioned by the Illinois Central Railroad documenting the flooding. The railroad ran along the Mississippi River through communities large and small. While the original intent of the photographs was to document the destruction of property, today the photographs are valued more for bearing witness to the flood’s human toll.

Just drove from central Wisconsin, through Iowa, Missouri, to central Oklahoma, across the Mississippi and Missouri rivers. I was virtually shocked to see how wet it is for a thousand miles. The devastation of the Missouri river flooding from a few weeks ago and the continued flooding was eye opening regarding the scope of this disaster. The small town of Hamburg, Iowa was virtually deserted because of the flood. The US post office was operating from a mobile van. Many bridges closed and under repair. I 29 in Mizzou still closed for many miles. I could see split corn bins. Really sad.

That's eye opening jcsok, it is easy to forget/overlook things which do not affect us directly. That is not even very far away from many of us.

Little comfort to those who were wiped out. It is wet around here, but we are on high ground. Those in the flood plains are again finding out why they are so named. The river giveth and the river taketh away.

Meanwhile, crops in UK are exhibiting drought stress. We've not had average rainfall for 15 months.
Rapeseed is getting eaten by pesticide resistant bugs.
