Yes, I live in the wheat lands in eastern Washington, and we have had no moisture in over two months. Combine that with most days temps in the high 90s or up to 113 at my place, and the extent of this disaster is clear. Most farms wont harvest enough wheat to pay for the seed and fuel costs. The good news is that the four prior years produced hefty yields and many farmers have significant wheat in storage. So there is some buffer if it comes to that.

I probably drove past you today. I was in Lewiston ID. Drove up to spokane area. It's those farmers I'm talking about.

Weird thing is that they were saying beef would get cheaper. For some reason the price of beef is inversely proportional to wheat price. I can't wrap my head around that concept but okay.
