Brooks Schaffer Market Report for Friday August 23
This is the SFN Market Report with Brooks Schaffer of Palmetto Grain. Reach him at [email protected] or 843-540-4540. Market is closely following the ProFarmer crop tour going across the Midwest this week. At the time of this recording, we have gotten the tour yield for Illinois, Nebraska, Indiana, South Dakota and Ohio. Thursday at 8pm, we got the tour yield for Iowa and Minnesota but it was after I recorded so was not able to include them. Today, Friday after the close, ProFarmer analysts will use the tour yields, satellite data and weather conditions to forecast state yields for each state and a national yield. The yields we got for each state so far this week are just the averages along the tour route, not necessarily representative of the whole state. The tour has traveled the same route since 1993 so we can use the tour yields to compare to previous years but the statewide numbers we get this afternoon are better to compare to USDA’s August estimates. I will include USDA’s August numbers here since we do not have today’s numbers yet.
Indiana’s Oldest Latino Hoosier Tradition Turns 100
Sunday, September 15, 2024, will be the 100th anniversary of the Fiestas Patrias parade in Indiana Harbor (East Chicago). One hundred years ago, this Mexican American community, coupled with the smaller community in Gary, gathered to celebrate Mexico’s Independence from Spain (1821). However, this inaugural Indiana parade had a deeper meaning. The early Mexican American community was taking refuge in their newfound Indiana home while recovering from post-revolutionary events. From 1910-1920 Mexico had another revolution, this time it was for economic equity, secularism and land reform. This would be followed by smaller battles (Cristero War) well into the 1920s. This war was in opposition to Calles Law, a secular anticlerical article that was amended to the Mexican Constitution in 1917. The political instability in Mexico during these years was among one of the factors propelling emigration into the United States.
