May contracts open their last day at $7.01 for corn and $15.31 for soybeans. Those prices are still a lot better than what we saw last year.

Dustin Hoffmann catches up with John Heinberg of Total Farm Marketing to look at the Tuesday Midday Market Report.

Dustin Hoffmann visits with Chase McDonald, Personal Agronomist at Advanced Agrilytics. They talk about the personalized agronomy services that they offer. McDonald says it not about having another map that prints out a pretty map. It is about taking your data you already collect and partnering it with what your fields are telling you. 

Dustin Hoffmann talks with Allendale's Greg McBride ahead of Monday's open. Weather and rain showers are going to be what the market watches the closest this week. Also, keep your eyes on local basis numbers as a barometer of the demand on the markets.
