The July 16, 2026 edition of the Closing Market Report covers commodity markets, soil management research, and regional agricultural weather patterns. Host Todd Gleason opens the program from the National Association of Farm Broadcasting event in Kansas City, sharing first-hand observations of resilient midwestern corn crops despite recent heat waves. Market analyst Matt Bennett of AgMarket.net discusses current wheat and energy price volatility driven by geopolitical factors, noting that while the corn crop is progressing well through pollination, upcoming weather conditions will determine the extent of market premiums. University of Illinois PhD student Blake Link reports from the Orr Research Center on the expanding necessity of sulfur fertilizers across the Corn Belt, explaining the different forms of sulfur applications and their chemical effects on soil acidity. Finally, Mike Tannura of Tstorm Weather provides a global and domestic agricultural weather outlook, highlighting a temperature divide between a hotter northern region and a milder south, the potential for early-season monsoonal rains in August, and the localized atmospheric impacts of seasonal wildfire smoke on crop photosynthesis and daytime temperatures.01:10 Ag Markets with Matt Bennett, AgMarket.net 08:38 Evaluating the Need for Sulfur Fertilizers in the Corn Belt 16:03 Ag Weather with Mike Tannura, Tstorm.net ★ Support this podcast ★

The July 15, 2026, edition of the Closing Market Report highlights the current agricultural commodity markets and upcoming weather patterns influencing crop production. Host Todd Gleason discusses a recent surge in wheat futures driven by supply fears following Russian military attacks on Ukrainian ports, particularly Odesa, shifting the focus away from traditional weather factors. In the ag market segment, Greg Johnson notes that Central Illinois crops are generally performing well, prompting farmers to hold out for stronger prices, though fund activity remains neutral to long. Additionally, the program details upcoming regional agricultural events, including University of Illinois Extension field days and webinars focused on soybean breeding and agricultural AI applications.The second half of the program transitions to regional and international ag weather with Drew Lerner from World Weather Inc.. Lerner breaks down the stressful but manageable heat impacts across the northern Corn Belt, noting that while the upper Missouri River Basin faces high temperatures and dryness, areas like the Red River Valley are insulated by recent heavy rainfall. The international segment details a severe and expanding drought in Western Europe, where central France and the UK face massive precipitation deficits threatening summer crops like sugar beets. Conversely, weather conditions remain favorable for crop maturation in the Black Sea region, making the current market volatility strictly a reflection of regional war developments rather than climate failures.01:21 Ag Markets with Greg Johnson, Total Grain Marketing 11:59 Ag Weather with Drew Lerner, World Weather Inc. ★ Support this podcast ★

The July 14, 2026, edition of the Closing Market Report highlights shifting grain dynamics, regional crop conditions, and agricultural energy concerns amid escalating global conflicts. Market analyst Naomi Blohm notes that a recent shift to slightly cooler nighttime temperatures has taken some heat pressure out of corn and soybean prices, while wheat experiences a war premium driven by renewed tensions in the Black Sea region. Nationally, crop progress remains steady, though states west of the Mississippi—particularly Minnesota and Iowa—are significantly outperforming eastern Corn Belt states like Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio. Energy expert Susan Stroud addresses the growing volatility in the diesel market, explaining how supply crunches in Europe, domestic biofuel mandates, and the continued depletion of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve are squeezing fuel availability ahead of the fall harvest. Finally, meteorologist Don Day warns that a stubborn high-pressure ridge will sustain well-above-average temperatures and dry conditions across the northern tier and western Corn Belt for the next 10 to 12 days.01:15 Ag Markets with Naomi Blohm, Total Farm Marketing07:30 USDA Weekly Crop Progress Report09:29 Crop Protection Network Disease Report10:47 AgriNext & Energies with Susan Stroud, No Bull Ag20:59 Ag Weather with Don Day, Day Weather ★ Support this podcast ★

The July 13, 2026, edition of the Closing Market Report covered critical updates in domestic agricultural production, global energy markets, and shifting weather patterns impacting the U.S. corn belt. Curt Kimmel of AgMarket.net analyzed the day's sharp rise in crude oil and grain futures, tying the market's upward momentum to localized heat stress in the western corn belt, declining crop condition ratings, and sudden escalations in Middle East war tensions. Expanding on these geopolitical developments, North Dakota State University Extension Economist Frayne Olson discussed the severe impact of a newly announced U.S. military escort fee for transiting the Strait of Hormuz, alongside the logistics disruption caused by Ukrainian drone attacks near the Sea of Azov. Olson noted that while these conflicts introduce a supportive risk premium for U.S. grain exports, their long-term effects will primarily filter through volatile international energy markets. Finally, meteorologist Mark Russo of EverStream Analytics provided a near-term weather outlook, reporting that while threatening pollination heat will temporarily persist in the northwest Midwest, a retrogressing ridge of high pressure will bring cooler temperatures by the weekend. However, Russo warned that an impending shift toward a suppressed, northwest flow jet stream pattern could signal a prolonged dry spell moving into critical pod-development stages for soybeans in early August.01:11 Ag Markets with Curt Kimmel, AgMarket.net06:53 Commodity Market Discussion with Frayne Olson, NDSU18:46 Ag Weather with Mark Russo, EverStream Analytics ★ Support this podcast ★

This Monday edition of the Closing Market Report highlights a major, post-holiday surge across the agricultural commodity markets, driven primarily by an adverse late-summer weather forecast and renewed export interest from China. Host Todd Gleason reports substantial gains in corn, soybean, and wheat futures following recent contract lows. Market analyst Curt Kimmel of AgMarket.net discusses the logistical significance of China picking up soybean cargoes off the Pacific Northwest and the Gulf, noting that while the technical fundamentals haven't shifted, the buying enthusiasm provides critical support ahead of Friday's upcoming USDA WASDE report. In agricultural news, farm groups are actively pushing back against Bayer's request for anti-dumping duties on Chinese glyphosate imports due to concerns over narrowing farmer margins. Additionally, University of Illinois Extension entomologist Nick Seiter warns producers to actively scout for corn leaf aphids as crops enter their vulnerable tasseling stage, and Senate Agriculture Chair John Boozman expresses hope to transition foreign food aid programs back under the jurisdiction of the USDA via a new farm bill.The program also features an in-depth economic perspective from University of Minnesota Extension economist Ed Usset, who views the current market rally as a classic post-July 4th weather market. While acknowledging the bump from hot, dry domestic forecasts and extreme heat hitting crops in France, Usset reminds producers that this rally serves as an excellent "second chance" to clean out remaining old crop inventories and execute scale-up sales on new crop corn and soybeans before defensive seasonal trends potentially return. Finally, Mark Russo of EverStream Analytics breaks down the broader global weather patterns, noting that while the core U.S. Midwest looks secure, a highly intense ridge of high pressure will bring crop-stressing heat to western plains states like Nebraska, Kansas, and South Dakota next week. Internationally, Russo reports a disastrous third heat wave accelerating crop deterioration for  corn in France and parts of Eastern Europe, while unseasonal winter rains slightly slow the safrinha corn harvest in southern Brazil.01:35 Ag Markets with Curt Kimmel, AgMarket.net07:20 Bayer Requests Glyphosate Import Protections08:00 Scout for Corn Aphids09:12 Farm Bill Legislation May Attempt to Move Foreign Food Aid10:54 Commodity Market Discussion with Ed Usset, University of Minnesota18:04 Ag Weather with Mark Russo, EverStream Analytics ★ Support this podcast ★

This 4th of July program, hosted by Todd Gleason, explores the history of agricultural adaptation and innovation in the United States, drawing a parallel to the founding spirit of the Declaration of Independence. The broadcast features three historical segments detailing the evolution of primary row crops and soil management practices. It traces the genetic development of corn from early flint and dent crosses to modern commercial hybrids, emphasizing the narrowing of its genetic base. It also highlights the pioneering no-till farming experiments at University of Illinois Extension's Dixon Springs research farm, which revolutionized soil conservation by drastically reducing soil erosion in Southern Illinois. Finally, the program outlines the domestication of the soybean, its introduction to North America by sailors and agricultural explorers, and the critical importance of preserving its genetic diversity to protect future crops against pests and diseases.00:00 July 4th | Independence, Agricultural Adaptation, and the Land01:24 Declaration of Independence05:59 A History of Corn with Forrest Troyer16:03 No-Till Preserves Soils and Independence19:40 A History of the Soybean with Ted Hymowitz ★ Support this podcast ★

In the July 2 edition of Commodity Week, host Todd Gleason and panelists Shane Holtorf, Naomi Blohm, and Matt Bennett review regional disparities in crop conditions, highlighting strong growth in Iowa and Wisconsin against waterlogged, disease-threatened fields in East Central Illinois. Analyzing the USDA Grain Stocks report, the panel notes that while a brief market rally occurred, old crop corn stocks remain near an eight-year high, advising producers to sell before seasonal pressure mounts. New crop corn carryout is projected between 1.80 and 1.90 billion bushels, with prices likely to test harvest lows unless major weather disruptions occur or WASDE reports introduce bullish data. Similarly, despite current resilience driven by strong domestic crush margins, the soybean market faces significant downside risk and technical selling pressure without immediate new crop purchases from China.Panelists - Matt Bennett, AgMarket.net - Windsor, IL - Naomi Blohm, TotalFarmMarketing.com - West Bend, WI - Shane Holtorf, LogicAg.com - Alta, IA ★ Support this podcast ★

The July 2, 2026, edition of the Closing Market Report highlights commodity settlements and a shift toward a weather-driven market. Analyst Matt Bennett and industry leaders discuss the agricultural risks of the USMCA entering an annual review process rather than an automatic renewal, while Representative Angie Craig connects rising farm bankruptcies to current trade policies and reduced food assistance. On the agronomic front, entomologist Nick Seiter advises producers to scout for corn leaf aphids during early reproductive crop stages, though he notes severe outbreaks are rare. Finally, meteorologist Mike Tannura forecasts near-term cooling for Illinois and outlines competing mid-July models that predict either a beneficial cool front or a persistent heat dome during the critical corn pollination window.02:13 Ag Markets with Matt Bennett, AgMarket.net07:06 WILLAg News Update for July 2, 202611:28 Corn Leaf Aphids – when to scout and what to expect16:00 Ag Weather with Mike Tannura, T-storm WeatherClick here to view the episode transcript. ★ Support this podcast ★

The July 1, 2026, edition of the Closing Market Report covers recent commodity market trends and global weather impacts. The episode opens with a daily market recap, noting gains in corn, soybeans, and wheat futures, alongside slight declines in livestock futures such as live cattle and lean hogs.Greg Johnson of Total Grain Marketing analyzes the fallout from recent USDA reports, noting that despite bearish data on corn and soybean stocks and acreage, markets rallied due to traders taking profits on short positions. Looking ahead, Johnson emphasizes that upcoming rainfall in the Corn Belt is expected to benefit pollination, which will likely suppress weather-driven price rallies and keep producers reluctant to sell their grain at current low prices.Meteorologist Drew Lerner of World Weather, Inc. details the North American weather outlook, forecasting cooler and wetter conditions for the U.S. Midwest in July. While this moisture is largely beneficial for the corn and soybean crops, excessive rainfall threatens production potential in parts of the lower Midwest and the Canadian prairies, though improved dry conditions in the U.S. High Plains are currently aiding the winter wheat harvest.Lerner concludes with an update on severe heat and drought conditions affecting European agriculture, particularly in France. The region has received a fraction of its normal rainfall since March, and while mature winter crops like wheat and rapeseed were rushed to the finish line to avoid catastrophe, summer crops face significant yield losses if substantial precipitation does not arrive by late July.02:34 Ag Markets with Greg Johnson, TGM13:39 Ag Weather with Drew Lerner, World Weather, IncClick here to view the episode transcript. ★ Support this podcast ★

In this week's Stansberry Investor Hour, Dan welcomes Andy Schectman to the show. Andy is the founder and CEO of Miles Franklin Precious Metals, a company dedicated to transparency, ethics, and long-term wealth preservation.   Andy kicks things off by explaining why gold prices breaking down isn't as bad as many people believe. He says that while the paper price of gold is going down, the physical asset has been going strong. In fact, since the start of President Donald Trump's second term, billions of physical gold bars in contracts have been delivered to CME Group's Commodity Exchange ("COMEX"). Silver also had strong deliveries to COMEX, with December 2025 seeing a record 65 million ounces in contracts delivered. Andy also says that one reason why gold exchange-traded funds ("ETFs") have experienced increased outflows is because large firms are redeeming their shares in exchange for gold to fulfill delivery contracts. And some of these contracts are for foreign countries that have lost trust in the central banks. (0:00)   Next, Andy shares his thoughts on bitcoin (BTC) and gold. Contrary to the stances supporters of either asset have, he doesn't believe investors need to be in only one of them and opposed to the other. He believes it's best if you invest in both. Andy personally invested in 1 BTC early on so he could have some exposure to the development of bitcoin. Andy then talks about the country's debt problem. With the U.S. in debt by more than $39 trillion, our country needs a way to pay it off. Andy says we have no way of selling products to other countries in the hopes of being paid in dollars, and other countries have established their own methods of trade without relying on the U.S. dollar. And with a trifecta of worse education rates, a lack of at-home manufacturing, and AI replacing certain jobs, the future outlook is grim. (19:14)   Finally, Andy says that Trump does have a plan to address this problem. The key is to bring manufacturing back home and sell that to the world. The U.S. cannot afford to be reliant on other countries. Also, the U.S. needs to aggressively buy gold. That would go straight into the Treasurys and help pay off our debt. While in the short-to-mid term this will be painful for Americans as certain services might need to be withheld, in the long term, Andy says it would be worth it. He ends the interview by warning investors to not save their money in dollars due to its dwindling value but to put their money into hard assets instead. (39:46)

The June 30, 2026, broadcast of the Closing Market Report, hosted by Todd Gleason, provides a comprehensive look at agricultural markets, conservation practices, and weather forecasts. The program begins with Naomi Blohm of Total Farm Marketing analyzing the morning's USDA grain stocks and acreage reports, noting that while corn and soybean acreages aligned closely with expectations, a significant drop in winter wheat harvested acres due to drought offered some market support. The focus then shifts to a University of Illinois Extension conservation cropping initiative featuring a panel discussion with farmers Brent Fowler, Adam Dahmer, and Greg Thoren. They share their personal experiences overcoming familial skepticism, equipment limitations, and the necessary mindset shifts required to successfully adopt no-till practices and multi-species cover crops. Finally, returning meteorologist Ed Kieser delivers the agricultural weather outlook, forecasting intense heat across the Corn Belt leading into the holiday weekend, with scattered, "ridge-riding" thunderstorms expected along the edge of a high-pressure system before slightly cooler temperatures arrive the following week.01:05 Ag Markets with Naomi Blohm, Total Farm Marketing07:49 Cover Crop Conversations: cultural and mindset shifts18:53 Ag Weather with Ed Kieser, Illinois Public Media ★ Support this podcast ★

While the market chases AI stocks and IPOs at 90x sales, Simon Erickson is looking in the opposite direction, at CME Group (NASDAQ:CME), the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, a business that doesn't care if markets go up or down. It just needs them to move. CME Group sits at the center of global derivatives trading across six asset classes, interest rates, equity indexes, foreign exchange, energy, agriculture, and metals, capturing the bid-ask spread on every contract that clears through its platform. Q1 2026 delivered all-time records in both revenue (up 14% to nearly $2 billion) and average daily volume (36.2 million contracts/day, up 22%), with record volumes across all six product lines simultaneously.0:00 - Introduction and Overview of CME Group as a business3:31 - Review of CME's six product classes 6:41 - Review of Q1 2026 Results (from our 7investing Community Forum)8:42 - Why Kevin Warsh as the new Fed Chair will be important for CME Group10:48 - New Retail product lines: Crypto, e-mini futures, and even compute pricing14:18 - A look at CME Group's current valuation and why the stock has been selling off16:19 - Why we recently upgraded CME Group to a "Strong Buy" conviction rating 18:32 - Q&A with audience questions + a review of CME Group's capital allocation policiesThe business model is exceptional: near-zero variable costs as volumes scale, massive network effects, and a 70% operating margin in Q1 2026, up 250 basis points year over year. With geopolitical uncertainty (Iran oil prices, Russia/Eastern Europe conflict, China tariff tensions) and a brand new Federal Reserve Chairman in Kevin Walsh navigating rate policy, Simon believes 2026 and 2027 will bring more volatility, not less. That's directly in CME Group's favor. The company is also launching new products including Bitcoin volatility futures, e-mini S&P 500 and NASDAQ options at one-tenth standard contract size (opening the door to retail investors), and a first-of-its-kind AI compute futures product in partnership with Silicon Data Partner.CME Group is also returning serious capital to shareholders: a longstanding variable dividend policy that pays out 50% of annual earnings, plus a $3 billion share repurchase authorization, $500 million of which was deployed just last quarter, with $2.5 billion still available. CEO Terry Duffy is transitioning out after a decade at the helm, handing off to 20-year company veteran Lynn Fitzpatrick (currently President and CFO), in what Simon views as seamless succession planning. This is a company that knows exactly what it is and executes flawlessly.7investing upgraded CME Group to strong buy conviction in November 2024, the stock returned 51% by March 2026, nearly tripling the S&P 500 return over the same period. They've just upgraded it to strong buy again in June 2026. The stock has pulled back significantly from its March highs, and valuation multiples on price-to-earnings, price-to-sales, and price-to-free-cash-flow are all at five-year lows.

This broadcast of the Closing Market Report from June 29, 2026, hosted by Todd Gleason, provides a comprehensive overview of commodity markets, agricultural policy, industry data, and global weather patterns. The program begins with an assessment of the grain markets, noting a broad downward trend in corn, soybean, and wheat futures ahead of the upcoming USDA reports. Guest analyst Sue Martin shares regional crop insights from North Central Iowa, highlighting favorable crop appearances due to timely rains and structured planting rotations. She anticipates potential shifts in acres toward soybeans in the upcoming government data and outlines market expectations for a July low followed by a demand-driven rally tied to international trade developments with China.The report transitions into federal regulatory updates, highlighting the USDA's finalization of a voluntary regenerative feedstock rule linked to low-carbon biofuel markets and the federal 45Z credit. The program also touches on a joint university study tracking rural concerns regarding the expansion of AI data centers, as well as new bipartisan legislation designed to train local extension agents to counter the spread of the New World screwworm pest. In livestock industry updates, recent USDA NASS figures are presented, showing a total US hog and pig inventory of 73.7 million head alongside steady weaning averages. This is followed by a discussion on legislative friction regarding California's Prop 12 standards and a Supreme Court decision affecting Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for immigrants, which may tighten labor supplies for food processors and meatpackers.The final segment features an ag weather analysis with Mark Russo of EverStream Analytics, detailing an immediate heat wave and high humidity building across the Corn Belt and the Central and Eastern United States. Russo reports an increase in short-term environmental stress across multiple livestock sectors—including Plains beef cattle, Midwestern poultry and swine operations, and East Coast facilities—though high winds and projected ridge shifts are expected to offer regional relief and more normalized temperatures by the following week. Additionally, the forecast indicates a low threat of disruptive heat during domestic corn pollination throughout July, while contrasting these developments with an intensifying, multi-wave European heat wave breaking all-time temperature records in Germany and Poland and compounding summer crop deficits across Western and Eastern Europe.01:22 Ag Markets with Sue Martin, Ag and Investment Services08:31 WILLAg News for June 29, 202611:52 Considering Pork Industry News15:08 Ag Weather with Mark Russo, EverStream Analytics ★ Support this podcast ★

cmr260626The June 26, 2026, broadcast of the Closing Market Report, hosted by Todd Gleason from the Land Grant University in Urbana-Champaign, features expert analysis on agricultural commodities and weather forecasting. In the markets segment, Mike Zuzolo of GlobalCommResearch highlights the potential market impact of the upcoming USDA crop acreage and grain stocks reports. Zuzolo notes that commodity prices are currently driven more by macroeconomic factors—such as a strong US dollar, currency devaluations in Russia and Japan, and crude oil trends—than by agricultural supply-and-demand fundamentals. He cautions that unless these fundamental reports shift investor focus and establish market lows by early July, producers will need to adopt more defensive market strategies.During the weather segment, Eric Snodgrass of Nutrien Ag Solutions reviews a highly active June characterized by heavy rainfall and a record number of tornadoes across Illinois, which effectively eliminated local drought conditions but heightened the risk of crop disease. Looking ahead, Snodgrass forecasts a significant heat wave persisting through mid-July, caused by a stationary atmospheric wave that will keep both daytime and overnight temperatures high. Fortunately, excessive soil moisture will help mitigate heat stress on local crops by generating hyper-local, cooling thunderstorms, though Snodgrass warns that the stationary ridge poses a severe, immediate drought risk for states situated closer to its epicenter, such as Missouri and Kansas.01:34 Ag Markets with Mike Zuzlo, GlobalCommResearch 10:53 Ag Weather with Eric Snodgrass, NutrienAgSolutions ★ Support this podcast ★

The June 25 edition of Commodity Week featured analysis from Arlan Suderman of StoneX, Curt Kimmel of AgMarket .net, and Greg Johnson of Total Grain Marketing. The panel evaluated the impending June 30 USDA acreage and quarterly grain stocks reports, noting that these figures, alongside developing weather patterns, will establish the primary direction for the markets. Expectations for corn acreage generally reflect a slight decrease from March intentions, while soybean acreage is anticipated to be marginally higher.Weather remains a dominant factor as the corn crop approaches its critical July pollination window. Elevated temperatures will accelerate growing degree days, but sustained heat combined with high overnight temperatures could negatively impact final yields. The panel also highlighted specific agronomic risks moving into the latter half of the summer. These include the eastward drift of smoke from western wildfires and the potential for southern mold spores to increase disease pressure, making fungicide application decisions crucial for producers this season (CropProtectionNetwork.org).Significant uncertainty persists regarding international trade commitments on the demand side. The market is closely monitoring China's purchasing pace to determine if the nation will meet its stated targets by the end of the calendar year. Additionally, potential agricultural shipments to Iran, facilitated by the use of frozen assets, represent another unresolved variable that could substantially tighten the overall balance sheet. Until these international demand factors and late-season weather impacts are clarified, producers are exhibiting notable reluctance to make new crop sales at current price levels.Panelists - Greg Johnson, Total Grain Marketing - Curt Kimmel, AgMarket.net - Arlan Suderman, StoneX ★ Support this podcast ★

The June 25, 2026, edition of the Closing Market Report, hosted by Todd Gleason, provides a comprehensive overview of agricultural markets, national news, and weather forecasts. Market analyst Matt Bennet of AgMarket.net discusses the day's surprising market rally, attributing the upward movement in corn, soybeans, and wheat primarily to short covering by funds ahead of the volatile June 30th acreage and stocks reports. In agricultural news, a major development out of Washington, D.C., reveals that provisions for year-round E15 sales and billions in economic farm aid have been included in a national security supplemental request. The program also features a call for volunteers for the University of Illinois's regional corn rootworm trapping network and a historical segment by Rod Bain commemorating a century of USDA Radio broadcasting. Finally, meteorologist Mike Tannura of T-storm Weather details the current wet and cool conditions across the Central U.S., warning of an impending major weather pattern change that is expected to bring a sustained and potentially damaging heat wave to the Corn Belt by early July.02:44 Ag Markets with Matt Bennett, AgMarket .net09:10 Year Round E15 and Economic Aid for Farmers11:11 U of IL Looking for Rootworm Trap Volunteers12:24 A Century of USDA Radio17:04 Ag Weather with Mike Tannura, T-storm Weather  ★ Support this podcast ★

The June 24, 2026, edition of the Closing Market Report covers current commodity market trends, agricultural weed management research, and global weather impacts on crop production. Greg Johnson of Total Grain Marketing notes that commodity markets are experiencing a typical seasonal lull, driven heavily by investment funds liquidating over three billion bushels in long positions. This massive sell-off has depressed prices for corn, soybeans, and wheat, causing farmer selling to dry up as the industry waits for upcoming USDA reports and crucial pollination weather. Shifting to agronomy, Corteva's Jeff Bode and University of Illinois Crop Scientist Aaron Hager detail the findings from the campus Weed Science Field Day. Their focus centers on evaluating residual herbicides and active ingredients to manage resistant weed species, notably revisiting applications like Metribuzin to combat metabolic triazine resistance in waterhemp. Finally, meteorologist Drew Lerner of World Weather, Inc. details severe global weather disruptions, highlighting a record-breaking, crop-damaging heat wave in France and a significant rainfall deficit in India that threatens a national drought. Domestically, Lerner forecasts a high-pressure ridge building across the Midwest, which is expected to introduce heat and a concerning dry bias to the western Corn Belt, specifically targeting South Dakota, Iowa, Nebraska, and Minnesota.01:02 Ag Markets with Greg Johnson, Total Grain Marketing07:05 The Land Grant Weed Science Mission07:19 Jeff Bode, Corteva Technical Agronomist10:07 Aaron Hager, University of Illinois Crop Scientist13:46 Ag Weather with Drew Lerner, World Weather, Inc. ★ Support this podcast ★

The June 23, 2026, edition of the Closing Market Report focuses on dairy production, trade policy, agronomic profitability, energy markets, and regional weather outlooks. Host Todd Gleason opens the program with Naomi Blohm of Total Farm Marketing to analyze the dairy sector and international trade. Blohm notes that the latest milk production report indicates a bearish trend, with May production rising 2.3% year-over-year, driving Class III milk prices below $16 despite robust domestic demand. The discussion transitions to the upcoming mandatory USMCA evaluation on July 1, highlighting market uncertainty regarding the United States' position, contrasted against efforts by Canada and Mexico to strengthen bilateral maritime trade routes.On crop production and management, the program highlights a multi-year data review presented by University of Illinois Extension agricultural economist Gary Schnitkey. The 11-year study reveals that increasing nitrogen application rates above the Maximum Return To Nitrogen (MRTN) baseline or adding extra tillage passes occasionally boosts yields but consistently fails to improve overall net profitability due to elevated input costs. Additionally, Extension weed scientist Aaron Hager previews the university's upcoming annual Weed Science Field Day, detailing its self-guided tour format designed for farmers and commercial applicators.In the agricultural energy segment, Kansas State University Extension economist Dan O'Brien reports stable domestic ethanol production, operating at approximately 89.3% of plant capacity across 201 active facilities. Plant profit margins remain steady between 11 and 15 cents per gallon, with eastern corn belt ethanol plants currently paying the highest cash corn prices in the nation. Turning to regional crop conditions, O'Brien characterizes the 2026 Kansas wheat harvest as exceptionally poor, citing near-record-low harvested-to-planted acreage ratios caused by severe storm and derecho damage.00:42 Ag Markets with Naomi Blohm, Total Farm Marketing07:42 High N-Rates and More Tillage Do Not Pay10:54 USMCA Review Begins July 1 with an Uncertain Future14:44 Ag Energies with Dan O'Brien, Kansas State Extension19:58 Ag Weather with Don Day, Day Weather ★ Support this podcast ★

The June 22, 2026, Closing Market Report highlights a sharp contrast in global weather patterns and their developing impacts on crop conditions. In the United States, the Corn Belt and Southern growing regions are currently maintaining highly favorable soil moisture levels, setting a strong baseline for development. However, recent heavy rainfall and consecutive weeks of flooding in parts of the Midwest are expected to result in a 1% to 3% downgrade in the upcoming crop conditions report. In stark contrast, Europe is enduring a severe, record-setting heatwave with below-normal rainfall, raising significant moisture stress concerns for summer crops like corn and sunflowers, particularly in France. Meanwhile, South American harvests in Brazil are progressing smoothly with only minor, localized disruptions.Market attention is increasingly shifting toward the upcoming USDA grain stocks and acreage reports. Driven by rapid spring planting speeds and broader financial pressures, agricultural economists project a potential increase in both corn and soybean acres, as farmers frequently favor these traditional crops during tight financial periods. This shifting landscape is further framed by long-term structural changes in Southern U.S. agriculture, which has suffered a disproportionate loss of 32 million harvested acres over the past century. This massive historical decline has led analysts to question whether federal safety nets that heavily favor cotton, peanuts, and rice are inadvertently stifling regional innovation and crop diversification.In livestock and international trade, domestic beef demand continues to outpace expectations and remains robust, even with ongoing headline concerns regarding screwworm in Mexican cattle herds. On the geopolitical stage, Vice President J.D. Vance announced a proposed structural agreement regarding Iran, where any potential unfreezing of Iranian financial assets would require joint U.S. and Qatari oversight and be strictly earmarked for the purchase of American soy, corn, and wheat. While these geopolitical headlines introduce short-term volatility, market experts emphasize that traders must focus on strong domestic crop usage, robust export paces, and baseline supply and demand fundamentals to accurately navigate the marketplace.00:00 The About Southern Agriculture Edition02:02 Ag Markets with Curt Kimmel, AgMarket.net07:35 V.P.

OA1271 - The single stupidest war of choice the U.S. has ever gotten itself into may finally be coming to an end--or at least the concept of a plan for an end? We go beyond the headlines to see what is actually in this thing, and take on some of the most interesting legal questions raised here. How could this possibly bind Israel, a country which specifically refused to be a party to it? How is the U.S. promising a $300 billion investment which hasn't been authorized by Congress? And how much power does the President of the United States really have to end Congressional and international sanctions? We then take a quick look at how DHS's  surveillance state is coming along before going deeper on the recent denial of Judge Hannah Dugan's final effort to vacate her conviction for allegedly obstructing an ICE arrest in her Wisconsin courtroom before sentencing. Finally, a quick hoofnote: is it really possible to accidentally purchase 80,000 pounds of live cattle? Matt reveals the truth behind this week's funniest legal meme.

The June 18, 2026, Commodity Week panel analyzed current agricultural market fundamentals, prioritizing export demand, domestic crop conditions, and macroeconomic shifts. China recently purchased 4.8 million bushels of U.S. soybeans, yet long-term fulfillment of their 25-million-metric-ton commitment remains uncertain pending tariff adjustments and sustained export competition from Brazil. Domestically, the market is bracing for upcoming USDA acreage and grain stocks reports, with analysts anticipating slight increases in soybean acreage and noting discrepancies in feed and residual data driven by heavier cattle slaughter weights. The recent Cattle on Feed report indicated a 102% year-over-year inventory, though overall beef production projections remain inexplicably low according to the panel. Furthermore, U.S. corn crop conditions vary drastically based on planting dates, with early-planted corn thriving while late-planted fields struggle against excessive moisture. Finally, macroeconomic volatility is expected to persist as the new Federal Reserve leadership implements a strictly data-driven policy approach, strengthening the U.S. dollar and emphasizing the need for producers to actively execute pricing orders amidst shifting fundamentals.Panelists - Jim McCormick, AgMarket.net - Garrett Toay, AgTraderTalk.com - Mike Zuzolo, GlobalCommResearch.com ★ Support this podcast ★

The June 19 Closing Market Report provides a historical overview of the legislative and military milestones that culminated in the abolition of slavery in the United States. The broadcast begins by outlining the Morrill Acts of 1862 and 1890, which established Land Grant Universities and Historically Black Colleges and Universities to expand equitable access to public education. It then details the 1863 Emancipation Proclamation, which strategically shifted the Civil War's primary objective toward ending slavery and authorized the enlistment of Black soldiers, a directive subsequently formalized by General Order 143 to create the U.S. Colored Troops. As the conflict concluded with the Confederate surrender at Appomattox, the Wade-Davis Bill established stringent Reconstruction protocols for readmitting the defeated states to the Union. The timeline concludes with the formal constitutional abolition of slavery through the 13th Amendment and the enforcement of emancipation in Texas via General Order No. 3 on June 19, 1865, the historic event now nationally commemorated as Juneteenth.00:43 The Morrill Acts & HBCUs05:37 The Emancipation Proclamation13:25 General Order 14317:14 Reconstruction and the Wade-Davis Bill19:02 Surrender at Appomattox20:29 The 13th Amendment21:04 June 19, 1865, General Order #3 ★ Support this podcast ★

Market Overview and Commodity TrendsThe June 17, 2026, broadcast of the Closing Market Report, hosted by Todd Gleason, provides a comprehensive update on agricultural markets, policy news, and global weather conditions. In the commodities segment, Greg Johnson of Total Grain Marketing details a recent market sell-off driven by favorable Midwest weather, expectations of higher planted acreage, and declining oil prices linked to a Middle East memorandum of understanding (MOU). This combination of factors has prompted investment funds to liquidate their long positions in corn and pare back on soybeans. Johnson advises farmers to adjust their pricing expectations, noting that a significant rally would require a major weather event later in the summer or a return of Chinese soybean purchases.Agricultural Policy and Global FinanceThe program also covers recent geopolitical and agricultural news, highlighting President Donald Trump's cautious public remarks regarding the finalization of the Middle East MOU, despite White House officials confirming its digital signing. Domestically, the broadcast outlines a legislative push in the Senate to permanently lift summertime restrictions on E-15 ethanol and reports on a growing New World screwworm outbreak threatening livestock in Texas. On the financial front, the US Farm Credit System remains stable despite broader economic challenges, presenting a stark contrast to Brazil, where lower grain prices and high interest rates are driving a surge in farm bankruptcies and loan defaults.Global Weather ImpactsMeteorologist Drew Lerner from World Weather, Inc. concludes the report with a global agricultural weather outlook. In the United States, unusually cool temperatures and excessive moisture are slowing crop development across the Midwest and Northern Plains, though warmer weather is expected by July. In Europe, a severe heatwave and prolonged dry spell are heavily stressing winter crops, particularly in France. Looking toward Asia, a strengthening El Niño is forecast to bring significant dryness to Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines later in the year, while simultaneously causing excessive, crop-damaging rainfall across the rice and sugarcane regions of southern China.01:18 Ag Markets with Greg Johnson, Total Grain Marketing09:12 President Trump Hedges on MOU Signing15:16 Ag Weather with Drew Lerner, World Weather, Inc. ★ Support this podcast ★

Ryan Gorman from CME Group breaks down single stock futures, how they work, why they're gaining traction, and the critical risks every trader needs to understand before diving in.

The June 16, 2026, Closing Market Report covers commodity markets, international production costs, agricultural energy sectors, and midwestern weather forecasts. Analyst Susan Stroud notes that a recent geopolitical settlement in Iran has stabilized corn markets and prompted a slight rebound in soybeans. This recovery is driven by speculation of Chinese state-owned purchases and resilient U.S. crush demand, although impending acreage reports and shifting weather forecasts continue to inject volatility into the market. Providing a comparative analysis of international corn production, Joana Colussi explains that while both U.S. and Brazilian farmers have recently incurred financial losses, U.S. deficits are primarily linked to sticky overhead costs like land value, whereas Brazilian expenses are heavily influenced by direct inputs such as imported nitrogen. Furthermore, Dave Chatterton reports that the Iranian settlement is driving down agricultural energy and fertilizer prices, though a complete stabilization to pre-war levels will likely take several months. Chatterton also highlights that the recent release of Risk Management Agency (RMA) yields has promptly triggered ECO and SCO crop insurance payouts for numerous Midwest producers. Concluding the report, meteorologist Don Day forecasts a rapid, severe weather event across the Midwest—driven by the collision of a strong Canadian cold front and a tropical system from the Gulf Coast—which is expected to deliver heavy rainfall, damaging hail, and potential tornadoes to Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio.00:00 June 16, 2026 | WILLAg.org01:08 Ag Markets with Susan Stroud, No Bull Ag10:04 U.S. and Brazilian Corn Production Costs Compared13:24 Ag Energies with Dave Chatterton, Strategic Farm Marketing17:52 RMA 2025 Yields Spur ECO / SCO Payments19:59 Ag Weather with Don Day, Day Weather ★ Support this podcast ★

The June 15, 2026, edition of the Closing Market Report covers recent agricultural commodity market trends, global supply estimates, and international weather forecasts. Curt Kimmel of AgMarket.net notes that agricultural markets are currently stabilizing, with the recent Iran war settlement expected to reduce transportation and energy costs, thereby boosting investor confidence and global grain demand. Agricultural economist Ben Brown discusses the bearish impact of the latest World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) report, which revealed a 14 million metric ton increase in global corn production, largely driven by India. Brown also highlights strong domestic soybean crush demand and notes that global wheat production increases are currently overshadowing tightening U.S. supplies. Furthermore, Brown emphasizes the strong correlation between energy and grain prices while warning of potential agricultural trade disruptions if the USMCA agreement is not extended. Finally, Mark Russo of EverStream Analytics forecasts another round of severe storms and heavy rainfall for the U.S. Corn Belt before shifting to a drier pattern, while simultaneously warning of a prolonged heat wave and declining soil moisture threatening crops in Western Europe, particularly in France.- Ag Markets with Curt Kimmel, AgMarket.net- Commodity Markets Discussion with Ben Brown- Ag Weather with Mark Russo, EverStream.ai ★ Support this podcast ★

The June 12, 2026, Closing Market Report covers recent developments in agricultural markets, regional corporate investments, and long-term weather forecasts. Market analyst Mike Zuzolo notes that wheat and corn surprisingly closed higher despite a bearish USDA WASDE report that lowered the season's average cash price for wheat by 50 cents. Zuzolo attributes underlying market support to strong domestic ethanol and export demand, though he warns that soybeans face downward pressure from competitive South American crops if corn and wheat fail to establish a bottom. In state news, the USDA outlined disaster recovery resources for Illinois farmers recovering from recent tornadoes, and Rural King announced a $75 million investment in a new headquarters in Mattoon, Illinois, which is projected to create 100 local jobs. The broadcast also highlighted an upcoming University of Illinois Extension field day focused on nutrient management. Concluding with an agricultural weather forecast, Eric Snodgrass reports that recent heavy Midwestern rains have restored critical soil moisture, thereby reducing the risk of severe heat in July. Furthermore, Snodgrass highlights NOAA's confirmation of a strong El Nino pattern, which is anticipated to produce a milder, wetter fall and winter that could complicate upcoming harvest and fieldwork schedules.- Ag Markets with Mike Zuzolo, GlobalCommResearch.com- WILLAg News Update for June 12, 2026- Ag Weather with Eric Snodgrass, NutrienAgSolutions.com ★ Support this podcast ★

The June 11, 2026 edition of Commodity Week, hosted by Todd Gleason, evaluated the contrasting environmental and structural shifts altering the global agricultural landscape. Ellen Dearden highlighted severe weather disparities across the US Midwest, where central Illinois recently faced excessive rain and wind damage, while portions of South Dakota and Nebraska continue to suffer from severe drought and expanding wildfires. Ted Seifried analyzed the subtle domestic demand adjustments and global production updates in the June USDA WASDE report, noting that while US ending stocks remained relatively flat, surprise production increases for corn crops in Brazil and Argentina present long-term competitive threats to US exports.The panelists further scrutinized fund flows and international demand dynamics, emphasizing that the recent market slide is heavily driven by index funds liquidating historic long positions as previous alternative energy and fertilizer supply narratives lose momentum. This speculative exit coincides with stagnant buying activity from China, which continues to meet its immediate processing needs through cheaper, high-volume South American soybean supplies rather than turning to the US. Consequently, Matt Darragh projected that the US may only realize about half of the USDA's targeted 25 million metric ton export volume to China for the 2026–2027 marketing year, reflecting the global pricing edge and storage advantages held by Brazil and Argentina. Additionally, the panel briefly addressed the risk of the New World screwworm, noting that its spread is primarily a hazard tied to livestock transportation patterns rather than simple fly migration.On the global front, Darragh shared insights from Kpler regarding the softening wheat and fertilizer sectors. Global wheat contracts continue to face downward pressure from high carryover stocks and intense export competition out of Russia, Ukraine, and Europe, though looming El Niño conditions could severely penalize Australian crop yields later in the season. Meanwhile, critical supply chain vulnerabilities persist in the fertilizer sector, where 37 vessels laden with roughly 2 million tons of fertilizer products remain bottlenecked in the Middle East Gulf near the Strait of Hormuz. While down from a peak of 50 vessels in May, these ongoing logistical constraints and export limits from major producers threaten to trigger a delayed, severe impact on global crop production extending into the 2027–2028 marketing year.Panelists- Matt Darragh, Kpler - Birmingham, UK- Ellen Dearden, AgReview - Morton, IL- Ted Seifried, Zaner Ag Hedge - Chicago, IL ★ Support this podcast ★

USDA REPORT DAYThe June 11, 2026, Closing Market Report covers updates on agricultural commodity markets, upcoming extension events, agronomic research, and global weather patterns. Jim McCormick of AgMarket.net noted that the USDA's June WASDE report introduced largely bearish global supply revisions for corn, wheat, and soybeans, contributing to lower market closing prices across the board. In agronomic news, Travis Meteer previewed the June 17 Dudley Smith Farm field day, an event connecting beef and row crop producers with University of Illinois researchers to discuss nutrients, water quality, and fertility management. Additionally, agricultural economist Gary Schnitkey highlighted findings from 11 years of Precision Conservation Management data, showing that utilizing no-till or one-pass light tillage systems—alongside maintaining nitrogen rates near the Maximum Return to Nitrogen limit—consistently provides the highest profitability for farmers. Finally, Mike Tannura of T-storm Weather reported that recent intense storms have sufficiently moistened the U.S. Corn and spring wheat belts, while looking abroad, a severe heat wave is expected to negatively impact crops in France, Italy, and Spain next week.- Ag Markets with Jim McCormick, AgMarket.net- June 17 Dudley Smith Farm Field Day Preview- farmdoc Webinar Explores Tillage & Nitrogen Practices- Ag Weather with Mike Tannura, Tstorm.net ★ Support this podcast ★

The June 10th Closing Market Report covers agricultural market trends, crop disease management tools, and global weather impacts. Susan Stroud of NoBullAg.com notes that U.S. corn and soybean markets are facing downward pressure due to favorable June weather conditions, absent Chinese demand, and record South American crop yields, though biofuel tax credits provide some structural market support. University of Illinois plant pathologist Boris Camiletti highlights the Crop Protection Network, a collaborative online platform that equips farmers with predictive disease tracking and return-on-investment calculators to optimize fungicide applications for crops like corn and soybeans. Finally, meteorologist Drew Lerner details ongoing agricultural weather risks, emphasizing that heavy, out-of-season rains threaten Brazil's safrinha crop harvest, while frequent showers and cooler temperatures in the U.S. pose quality risks to the winter wheat harvest and exacerbate localized flooding in the Corn Belt.- Ag Markets with Susan Stroud, NoBullAg.com- The Crop Protection Network with Boris Camiletti- Ag Weather with Drew Lerner ★ Support this podcast ★

The Closing Market Report from June 9, 2026, details a recent sell-off in commodity markets, with corn, soybean, and wheat prices returning to January lows due to the current absence of a weather premium. The upcoming WASDE report is expected to reflect strong export sales and potential adjustments to old crop carryouts, while technical support levels suggest potential short-term recovery bounces. In agricultural news, the Senate is developing legislation for year-round E15 sales to match a recently passed House bill, and the shipping company Maersk has successfully tested 100% ethanol as a bunker fuel in Rotterdam. Meanwhile, the Strategic Petroleum Reserve is projected to reach its lowest volume since the 1980s, and a Wisconsin farmland auction yielded nearly $22,000 per acre. Furthermore, the rapid expansion of large-scale data centers in the Midwest has prompted significant local and state regulatory pushback regarding energy and water consumption, leading to temporary development moratoriums and the proposed repeal of tax incentives in states such as Illinois and Michigan. Finally, the agricultural weather forecast predicts severe thunderstorms and heat across the northern plains and upper Midwest, which will shortly be followed by a transition to cooler, drier conditions driven by air masses from south-central Canada.- Ag Markets with Naomi Blohm, TotalFarmMarketing.com- WILLAg News Update for June 9, 2026- Lawmakers Rush to Regulate Data Center Development- Ag Weather with Don Day, DayWeather.com ★ Support this podcast ★
