And that forecast was put together before the biblical drenching the Midwest suffered in the past week, when another 12 inches of rain flooded already saturated fields.

All this is sending corn futures soaring. Looking at the chart, you can see how corn has gone ballistic. Also, on the bottom of the chart, RSI (a momentum oscillator) has just given a bullish buy signal.

After this latest rainout, many corn farmers will switch to soybeans, which can be planted until the end of June with less impact on yields. And that means the corn that does grow will be much more valuable.

Jurojin already recommended our subscribers go long corn last week — after it bounced higher off of its 50-day moving average. Now, they’re racking up nice open gains, and our first profit target looms dead ahead.

Is it too late to get in on corn? Not by a long shot. We’ve seen this kind of horrible start to the crop year before — in 1993. Then, traders were slow to react to massive flooding.

The best way to play this is corn futures or options on corn futures. If you aren’t in the futures market, you could try the PowerShares DB Agriculture ETF (DBA), which tracks a basket of corn, wheat, soybeans and sugar.
