We show the correlation between soy prices and crude oil in Exhibit 1 in today's daily report, but note all the higher prices in the Exhibit below for corn, soy, and canola. This is providing a good backdrop for the crop protection industry, as seen in Corteva’s numbers. Farmers can afford to spend more to improve yields. We expect this trend to continue as demand for food will continue to grow and we will see incremental demand for fuels and materials.
