Private exporters announced the sale of 7.8 million bushels of corn for delivery to unknown destinations in 2026-27. China has historically driven “unknown destination” sales, but more recent trends suggest the grain may be bound to Mexico, Japan or other regular buyers.

Hello @usda why do I now have to create an account to access public information like export sales data? There are also stern warnings about "improper use" leading to possible civil or criminal penalties. Why so aggressive and (IMHO) fascist about this right now?

I hope everyone in Rolla is doing well and we can laugh even in the face of tragedy. Doing a parade 15 hours after a tornado rips through town is WILD. #rollamo #mowx #missouri #bestever #StPatricksDay

Longshot request, but I'd really love to own a copy of the Aug 1985 edition of @FarmJournal or at least see a photo of the cover. Asking for a very weird, random true crime intersection...
