Grains mixed after STATS Canada reports record grain production; China buy more US soybeans; Argentine crop progress update.

Middle meats are the gift that keeps getting pricier, and buyers are wondering whether the peak is finally here. Meanwhile, poultry stays affordable, pork remains a value, and dairy drops to holiday-baking lows — making this week's markets as mixed as a stocking full of surprises.BEEF: Holiday pricing is testing its limits, and while middle meats are sky-high, the market may finally be running out of steam. Chucks, rounds, and thin meats are slipping, and production numbers continue to reveal a shrinking cattle supply heading into 2026. Are we finally approaching the turn — or just pausing before another surge?POULTRY: Chicken remains the protein value hero of the season, with production up and pricing steady across wings, breasts, and tenders. But with avian flu cases continuing to creep in, could this calm be short-lived?GRAINS: Grain prices are stuck in neutral, with corn holding firm and soy struggling to spark a rally. Something has to give — the question is when, and what will finally move the needle?PORK: Bacon buyers rejoice — bellies are still a bargain at $118. But a new African Swine Flu outbreak in Spain could scramble global pork demand overnight. Is the export domino about to fall?DAIRY: Cheese keeps sliding with no clear bottom in sight, while butter flirts with a small bounce at record-low pandemic-era pricing. Is this dip a buy signal — or just the midpoint of a bigger correction?Savalfoods.com | Find us on Social Media: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn

Sand is everywhere along the shore—countless tiny grains beneath our feet. As we pause to look closer, we're reminded of Psalm 139:17–18 and the truth that God's thoughts toward us outnumber them all. In this episode, we reflect on how easily we slip into thinking we know best, and how gently God invites us to trust His wisdom instead. The grains of sand become a simple, beautiful reminder of His sovereignty, His care, and His immeasurable thoughts over our lives.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------DONATE: https://evidence4faith.org/give/ WEBSITE: https://evidence4faith.org/NEWSLETTER: http://eepurl.com/hpazV5BOOKINGS: https://evidence4faith.org/bookings/CONTACT: Evidence 4 Faith, 349 Knights Ave Kewaskum WI 53040 , info@evidence4faith.orgMy goal is that their hearts, having been knit together in love, may be encouraged, and that they may have all the riches that assurance brings in their understanding of the knowledge of the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. - Colossians 2:2-3CREDITS: Developed & Hosted by Michael Lane.

An estimated one-quarter to one-third of all food produced for human consumption worldwide is lost or wasted. As global food demand continues to rise, the challenge lies in producing more while creating less food waste (https://bakerpedia.com/baked-wasted-food-waste-commercial-baking/). In the baking industry, embracing efficient production practices, ingredient optimization, and upcycling strategies can significantly minimize waste, enhance nutritional retention, and build a more resilient, sustainable food system. In this episode of BAKED in Science, host Mark Floerke is joined by Marta Benedet, Key Account Manager at Agrain. Agrain (https://agrainproducts.com) is a food-tech company based in Denmark, specializing in the upcycling of spent grain. The company processes spent grain into aromatic and versatile flour ingredients, perfectly fit for a wide range of food products.

As we head into Thanksgiving, the markets are serving up a mixed plate — some items are easing, others are heating up, and a few might burn your budget. Whether it's a gravy train or a little holiday pain depends on the protein. Let's dig in and see what's really simmering this week.BEEF: Middle meats are heating up fast for the holidays, with ribeyes, strips, and tenderloins pushing higher and showing no signs of slowing. Chucks and rounds are softening a bit, but ground beef is still gaining strength — the question is how high these premiums will run through December.POULTRY: Chicken remains steady despite massive production levels, with wings, breasts, and tenders barely moving. But after 23 new avian flu cases this week, will this calm hold through the winter migration?GRAINS: Soy tried to rally and stalled, corn slipped, and wheat held steady — nothing seems able to spark this market. With winter wheat nearly fully planted, the real question is what it will take to break this grain gridlock.PORK: Bellies finally broke lower, dropping $22 to $118, and this softer market may carry well into December. With strong production and plenty of supply, will pork remain the best value on the protein board?DAIRY: Dairy keeps sliding, with block, barrel, and butter all moving lower again — and butter now at its cheapest point since 2021. The big question: will low holiday pricing spark demand, or is there still more room to fall?Savalfoods.com | Find us on Social Media: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn

Supply/Demand report delivers bearish news and volatility; world FOB update.

How did China's Nationalists feed their armies during the long war against Japan? In her new book, Grains of Conflict: The Struggle for Food in China's Total War, 1937-1945 (Cambridge UP, 2025), Jennifer Yip (National University of Singapore) looks at China's military grain systems from field to frontline. Yip examines the bureaucratic processes and deeply human stories of requisitioning, transporting, and storing grain in Nationalist-held China. This forensic look at food helps readers rethink the geographies, timings and burdens of China's war of resistance – as well as the meanings of total war itself. By uncoupling ‘total war' from images of industrialised warfare, Grains of Conflict shows how China's war with Japan mobilized the labor and resources of Chinese society on a total scale. In this interview, Yip explores the achievements and difficulties of Nationalist grain mobilization and discusses how the long conflict in China became a multi-sided ‘struggle for food' – with devastating results. Grains of Conflict is highly recommended for anyone interested in modern Chinese history and the history of war in the twentieth century.

Could the secret to a calmer mind and a healthier gut be hiding in your morning bowl of porridge?In this episode, I sit down with Swedish herbalist and nutritionist Karoline Karttunen to discuss one of my favorite breakfasts — the humble oats (Avena sativa).Grains have gotten a bad rap in recent years — and it's true that highly processed or sugar-laden versions don't do us any favors. But as Karoline reminds us, whole-grain oats are a true nutritional powerhouse that also carry the same medicinal gifts as oat straw and milky oats — beloved herbal allies for nourishing the nervous system and restoring resilience. She shares how oats support everything from balanced blood sugar to a calmer mind (and even a healthier microbiome).Karoline is so devoted to her oats that she eats them for breakfast five days a week! She keeps her daily porridge endlessly interesting by rotating the nuts, seeds, fruits, and herbs that she adds to the mix. You can even try her Herbal and Protein-Rich Oatmeal yourself — download the beautifully illustrated recipe card here.By the end of this episode, you'll know:► How a bowl of oats can calm frazzled nerves and lift your mood naturally► What butyric acid is—and why your intestinal cells can't get enough of it► The truth about so-called “anti-nutrients” like phytic acid (and why you might not need to worry about them)► How your brain and heart thrive on the right kind of carbs—and why oats are the perfect fuel► How discoveries in archaeology and anthropology challenge the myth that eating grains is “unnatural” for humans► and plenty more oat-inspired insights to nourish body and mind….For those of you who don't know her, Karoline Karttunen is a Swedish herbalist and nutritionist who brings herbs and food together in her herbal courses, blog and in personal consultations. She has in-person courses year round on the west coast of Sweden, as well as offering online courses in herbalism. Karoline's courses always have a focus on how herbs can strengthen health and be used as a natural part of our everyday life, just as we do with vegetables.I was already a huge fan of oats, but after talking with Karoline, I couldn't wait to make them an even bigger part of my herbal routine. I'm so happy to share this conversation with you—and I hope you leave feeling inspired to make yourself a big bowl of porridge, too!----Get full show notes, transcript, and more information at: herbswithrosaleepodcast.comWould you prefer watching this episode?
