Have a gander at this board for a birds eye view of on the ground conditions. Crop Talk and Market Talk are the boards to watch

The drought is real. The impact will be huge. Probably comparable to 1983 drought.

The biggest difference between 83, 88 and today is that there are no reserve grains. Stock piles are empty. I expect that all food prices will go up with the exception of meat. Culling of herds is going to occur because no one can afford to feed cattle, hogs, and chicken at high grain prices.

Watch out next year for meat prices though. They should go sky high after the first of the year.

A little more on meat prices.
