Podcasts about Don Day

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 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 ★

The May 26, 2026, Closing Market Report indicates a general decline in commodity futures, driven by easing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East and favorable Midwest weather forecasts. Market analyst Naomi Blohm notes that while grain uptrends are holding, they are currently testing critical support levels amid slowing export sales and persistent South American competition. Conversely, fertilizer prices remain highly elevated due to prolonged supply chain and production disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. Regarding regional crops, Dan O'Brien reports spotty moisture for Kansas wheat, projecting high abandonment rates of up to 25%, while also highlighting a growing global policy shift toward domestic biofuel production. Finally, meteorologist Don Day forecasts near-term hot and dry conditions for central Canada and the northern US Corn Belt, with contrasting precipitation in the Pacific Northwest and Gulf Coast, before weather patterns are expected to normalize in June.- Ag Markets with Naomi Blohm, TotalFarmMarketing.com- CEO of the Fertilizer Institute Corey Rosenbusch- Ag Energies and Kansas Wheat Abandonment with Dan O'Brien, Kansas State Extension- Ag Weather with Don Day, DayWeather.com ★ Support this podcast ★

This May 19, 2026, Closing Market Report covers a range of agricultural, economic, and weather updates. In the commodity markets, speculation regarding potential US-China trade deals caused a brief market rally, though prices quickly pulled back due to a lack of specific purchasing details. Significant agricultural industry news includes John Deere's preliminary $19.9 million settlement in a "right to repair" class-action lawsuit, as well as growing concerns from scientists over a USDA proposal to relocate vital soybean and maize seed banks out of Illinois. On the legislative front, Illinois lawmakers are considering a ban on the use of eminent domain for CO2 pipelines, while federal efforts face headwinds regarding nationwide year-round E15 fuel access and a newly proposed annual road-funding tax for electric vehicle owners. Meanwhile, agricultural energy markets remain volatile and captive to Middle East tensions, prompting advisors to recommend cautious, hand-to-mouth fuel purchasing strategies for farmers. Finally, the weather outlook highlights beneficial, albeit sometimes severe, recent rainfall across the Corn Belt and late-season snow in the West, with an active weather pattern expected to resume in the coming week.- Ag Markets with Naomi Blohm, TotalFarmMarketing.com- Right to Repair, Seedbanks, CO2 Pipelines, Year-Round E15, EV Tax- Ag Energies with Dave Chatterton, SFarmMarketing.com- Ag Weather with Don Day, DayWeather.com ★ Support this podcast ★

Market analyst Naomi Blohm highlights recent multi-year highs in corn and soybean prices, advising farmers to capitalize on these prices ahead of upcoming USDA reports and potential market volatility. Next, Google infrastructure manager Liz Schwab addresses common community concerns regarding hyperscale data centers, detailing their operational noise levels, water usage, and the company's approach to funding local electrical grid and infrastructure upgrades. Finally, meteorologist Don Day provides a weather outlook for the Corn Belt and High Plains, noting a beneficial late-season snowstorm for western wheat areas, while highlighting persistent and concerning drought conditions across Nebraska and western Iowa. ★ Support this podcast ★

- Naomi Blohm, TotalFarmMarketing.com- RFS Rule's Impact on BioMass Based Diesel RINs- Don Day, DayWeather.comThe April 28, 2026, Closing Market Report covers updates on agricultural markets, federal renewable fuel standards, and national weather forecasts. Naomi Blohm highlights a rapid planting pace for corn and soybeans across the Midwest, contrasted by stalled progress in Wisconsin due to heavy rains. She also notes that poor winter wheat conditions and ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Black Sea are driving up wheat futures. Following the market update, agricultural economist Todd Hubbs explains that new Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) mandates will push domestic biomass-based diesel production to its limits. He details that a structural shortfall in D6 (corn ethanol) RINs requires a backfill using D4 (biomass diesel) RINs, which is expected to sharply increase demand for feedstocks like soybeans or other oilseeds over the next two years. Finally, meteorologist Don Day forecasts a weather shift that will bring beneficial rain to the drought-stricken Delta and Southeast regions, though severe dryness is expected to persist across the hard red winter wheat areas of the central and western Plains. ★ Support this podcast ★

Total Farm Marketing's Naomi Blohm notes that traders are squaring positions ahead of an impending deadline with Iran, closely watching crude oil resistance levels. University of Illinois agricultural economist Gerald Mashange elaborates on this "escalation trap" in the Strait of Hormuz, warning that damage to energy and fertilizer infrastructure could cause prolonged supply chain disruptions and price spikes akin to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.In agricultural news, John Deere announced software updates complying with new Environmental Protection Agency guidelines to allow farmers temporary overrides on emissions and diesel exhaust fluid equipment during critical operational windows. On the weather front, Don Day from DayWeather forecasts much-needed rain for the drought-stricken winter wheat regions in the Southern Plains.
