That is switchgrass, Gnomon.
We're getting loads of rain, too, now. But, it just started in the couple weeks. We have had so many dry summers here that almost no one plants dryland corn anymore. If it's not under pivots it is just not planted. When corn shot up in price several years ago, so did fertilizer and seed prices. Few can afford to gamble what it costs to grow an acre of corn to see it burn up.
Corn is eight dollars on the CBOT, but that won't last, I predict. All ethanol plants are losing money at these prices, and chicken growers, too. High prices will cure high prices as demand drops.
