Daily Trivia: In what year was The Dalles, Oregon officially incorporated as a city?

Its July 9th. An anticipated date in the tariff timeline. Unfortunately, thus far, it's just a rather anticlimactic Wednesday morning. According to the administration, new tariff rates for seven additional countries are expected to be announced today with rates for another 15–20 nations said to be “coming soon.” Meanwhile, we’re also still waiting patiently for the first of the trade deals that were promised before today's deadline. President Trump did announce that the long-threatened 50% tariffs on copper will take effect by late July or August 1. He also revealed plans to impose tariffs of up to 200% on imported pharmaceuticals but the drug companies would have about 12 to 18 months to adjust before those go into effect. Additionally, he indicated that significant tariffs on semiconductors are being considered, though no specific details or timeline were given. In global conflicts we have an overnight development, Ukrainian officials are claiming they were hit by Russia’s largest drone assault since the war began. The attack came shortly after President Trump promised increased military aid to Kyiv and criticized Russian President Vladimir Putin for being dishonest about peace negotiations. According to Ukraine’s Air Force, the strike involved 728 drones and 13 missiles which far surpasses the previous record of 539 drones. Most of the attack was intercepted, limiting the damage. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called the strike a “demonstrative attack” and criticized Russia for rejecting peace efforts. Markets had a pretty limited reaction following the intensified Russian attacks on Ukraine as no major damage to grain or export infrastructure has been reported so far. 

Corn pollination window still showing some of the best conditions ever. Thats the only weather update for the morning. Here's a little geology though... Apparently, a cluster of hundreds of small earthquakes were recorded early yesterday beneath Mount Rainier. Yeah, the one not very far from here. According to the US Geological Survey’s Cascade Volcano Observatory, the tremors began just before 1:30 a.m. and have been occurring several times per minute. The quakes are occurring between 1.2 and 3.7 miles beneath the summit, and all have been low in magnitude. The strongest recorded so far measured 1.7, though none have been strong enough to feel on the surface. According to my thorough, in depth, 4-minute internet scroll these quake swarms are not uncommon at Mount Rainier, but this one stands out due to the sheer number of quakes. Normally, Mount Rainier experiences about nine quakes per month. The last major swarm occurred in 2009, when over 1,000 tremors were recorded over three days. Sounds pretty wild overall... But everything I found online emphasized that geologists say there's no reason for alarm. Guess I'll take their word for it. 

The USDA's monthly Crop Production and Agricultural Supply and Demand reports will be released this Friday at 9:00AM so expect slight delays in bids that morning. We apologize for the inconvenience on those days, but it allows us a little time to gauge the market response.
