Markets
As usual, Thursday morning begins with weekly grain export sales, U.S. jobless claims and an update of the U.S. Drought Monitor at 7:30 a.m. CDT, joined by a report of U.S. new home sales in March. Coronavirus statistics are still of interest, as are the latest weather forecasts and updates of meat processing operations.
Weather
Moderate rain is in store for the Ohio Valley Thursday, interrupting fieldwork. Light rain elsewhere in the eastern Midwest will bring some interruptions in activity. Farther south, strong to severe thunderstorms in the Mid-South and Deep South will hinder fieldwork, with some flooding possible. Drier conditions elsewhere will allow for progress, notably in the northwestern Midwest and Northern Plains.
