Daily Weather Assessments
The daily weather assessments include comments about rainfall that occurred overnight or during the weekend and how that and temperatures likely impacted crop and field conditions. The daily assessments also provide a very detailed two week weather outlook for each production region in the world. The daily forecasts are updated six days a week and can sometimes lead the market into different directions.
