First of all I think that there is going to be a lot of corn wheat and soybeans floating around where everything is said and done because for example in Illinois Indiana and Ohio and even Nebraska and Missouri major to green producing states some of those states are reporting the best current and best soybeans have ever had. And of course if that stands then there will be a lot of corn coming from those major states and so we'll end up with a lot of corn and there just isn't going to be anything from what I can see now is a repeat of 74 74 is repeating itself in Minnesota and to a great extent in South Dakota. But last year the corn crop was bad all over the Middle West and this year it's more mixed.
