The July 30, 2026, episode of the Closing Market Report covers recent developments in agricultural commodity markets, industry news, consumer trends, and regional weather forecasts. Market analyst Matt Bennett discusses the recent downturn in soybean and corn futures, attributing the market's sell-off to anticipated weekend rainfall across the dry Corn Belt. The agricultural news segment briefly highlights upcoming Farm Bill markup negotiations, updated USDA wetland determinations, and an expected increase in farmland supply entering the fall sales season. Next, CoBank livestock economist Abby Groves explains the rapid expansion of the $4.4 billion meat snack industry, noting that the 45% category growth is largely driven by consumers seeking convenient, high-protein options and the rising use of GLP-1 weight-loss medications. Concluding the broadcast, meteorologist Mike Tannura reviews the exceptionally warm and dry conditions of the past 15 days that have negatively impacted crop ratings, while forecasting a strong incoming weather system expected to bring one to three inches of stabilizing rain across the Midwest.01:22 Ag Markets with Matt Bennett, AgMarket.net07:38 WILLAg News Update10:15 Meat Snacks: Market Growth, GLP-1s, & Innovation17:28 Ag Weather with Mike Tannura, Tstorm.net ★ Support this podcast ★

The July 23, 2026, edition of the Closing Market Report examines commodity market volatility, political gridlock affecting agricultural policy, and highly concerning weather forecasts. Matt Bennett of AgMarket.net highlights new contract highs in November soybeans, attributing current market dynamics to geopolitical conflicts in the Black Sea and Iran, combined with the threat of dry weather in the Corn Belt.

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.

In a July crop update on The Cornelius Seed Podcast, the hosts discuss current Corn Belt conditions and key in-season concerns: southern rust, nitrogen loss, and tar spot. Crop conditions across Illinois, Iowa, southern Wisconsin, and parts of Minnesota are generally strong for corn with good stands, while soybeans are behind due to delayed, stop-and-go planting, potentially reducing top-end yield from missed early flowering windows. They warn southern rust could be as bad or worse than last year, citing reports of up to 80 bu/acre losses without fungicide, driven by frequent Gulf-origin storms and early spore detection. Recommended protection is a long-residual fungicide at R1 (silking), with scouting and possible second applications depending on product residual. They explain yellowing from saturated soils via leaching and denitrification and outline rescue nitrogen options and timing. Tar spot is noted as common but typically checked by July heat, with greater concern later in August. Scouting also includes rootworm beetles and emerging soybean red crown rot, with Victrato seed treatment discussed for SCN, SDS, and red crown rot. 00:00 Planting Update00:21 Crop Conditions Update 05:14 Southern Rust Warning12:59 Fungicide Timing & Recommendations20:04 Nitrogen Loss & Rescue Treatments35:44 Tar Spot Reality Check
