SPEAKER_00Indiana. They saw enough weather that it's knocked out the power for like he said 400,000 people or something like that in kind of the Valparaiso Gary, Indiana area. So hopefully they get back there. What they're calling it is a Derecho, and uh it flattened the eastern corn belt. Over 700 is instances of wind and wind wind damage have been reported yet have been reported since yesterday morning, excuse me, including nearly 50 gusts over 70 plus miles per hour. They grounded all the planes at all the airports around here. We heard there was even a few gusts of 80 around us. Nebraska and Iowa saw some pretty big storms overnight. You can look over there on the kind of the purple spots that are going over those states that they might have seen a slight bit of flooding in areas there as well. Well, the big thing today, the WASDI report, it comes out. We've heard a variety of estimates on what's going to happen. Kind of the story throughout the country is there is a

The thing is, we are very good at growing corn in the United States and very good at growing soybeans, and our technologies keep getting better. So we always have to keep that in mind as well. On the economic calendar for today, the MBA mortgage application comes out at 6 a.m. already. The CPI comes out at 7.30. And the EI the EIA energy stocks come out at 9 30 a.m.
