What a disappointing day in the grains. I am still long dec corn but having second thoughts. Have to talk with my broker in the morning to get a better feeling. I may hit a stop tomorrow if things don't improve. Looking at Dec corn calls and may put an order in for 240 call @ .10. What can I say, I'm a glutton for punishment.

A little off topic but, I just received a DOANE Market research report, a survey of farmers across the country. Broad range of questions asked. The question that caught my eye was "Do you plan on making any new equipment purchases in 1999? " Only 13.7% responded with a yes.
