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.

This week Mike and Jayden discuss the highly anticipated WASDE report. 

Markets are shifting as the holidays approach — beef heats up with middle meats climbing, chicken stays steady, and pork holds its value. Grains stay quiet, and dairy continues to slide with butter finally leveling off. The big question: is this the start of the holiday run-up, or just the calm before real volatility hits?BEEF: Middle meats are stealing the show as ribeyes, tenderloins, and strips push higher into the holidays. With grinds leading the pack and demand building, this market's heating up fast — the only question is how high it'll climb before December cools it down.POULTRY: Chicken remains steady and well supplied, prices barely moving either way. But with another wave of avian flu reports and migration season still underway, how long can this calm market last?GRAINS: Corn, soy, and wheat all dipped slightly after last week's optimism faded. Good news for feeders — not so much for farmers — but could holiday demand finally stir this sleepy grain market?PORK: Bellies are steady around $140, keeping bacon lovers happy and buyers relaxed. Pork remains one of the best protein values out there — but how long will this balanced market hold?DAIRY: Butter finally stopped sliding, but cheese keeps melting down with barrels and blocks still dropping. With prices this low, could we be setting up for a holiday dairy rebound?Savalfoods.com | Find us on Social Media: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn

Corn and soybeans back to recent highs, expecting bullish Supply/Demand results tomorrow; Argentina projecting record wheat production; Brazil expecting record soybean production and exports.

Grains mixed as they wait for Friday's Supply/Demand report; pre-release estimates summary; Russia's grains exports see a slow start for this market year.

Inclusion is under siege. As companies scale back DEI amid political backlash, can Asia offer a new lens for belonging - one rooted in empathy and economics? Lyn R. Lee, former Global Chief DEI Officer at Shell and author of Tiny Rice Grains (Penguin Random House SEA), joins Michelle Martin to explore the future of diversity in a politically divided world. She discusses how small acts of inclusion ripple into systemic change, and how Asian perspectives can redefine leadership courage and care. Discover how to move beyond compliance, make psychological safety real, and build workplaces where every “tiny grain” counts.

This week Jayden and Mike discuss the risk off trading ahead of next weeks WASDE report. 

As the holidays close in, markets are showing their seasonal split — beef buyers are getting bold while poultry prices cool and dairy keeps sliding. With soy stirring and pork settling, everyone's stocking up for the end-of-year rush… but which way will prices break when the wrapping paper comes off?BEEF: Holiday buying is kicking in and prices are heading higher across the board, with ribeyes, tenderloins, and even strips taking off. Demand is rising, supply isn't budging, and this market looks set to climb straight into December — the only question is how fast.POULTRY: Chicken remains steady with strong production and flat pricing — barely a penny either way. But with fresh avian flu cases popping up again, will this calm market hold through the holidays?GRAINS: Soy finally woke up on export news, with wheat following higher, while corn slipped a touch. If global buying picks up, could this be the start of that grain momentum we've been waiting for?PORK: Bellies pulled back to $140 after last week's spike, making now a great time for bacon buyers. Pork remains one of the best values in protein — but will seasonal demand tighten things up heading into winter?DAIRY: Last week's bump vanished fast — cheese and butter dropped again, turning dairy into a surprising value play. The question now is whether holiday demand can stop this slide or if prices keep melting.Savalfoods.com | Find us on Social Media: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn

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?

Markets are starting to settle after weeks of decline. Beef finds its bottom, chicken holds steady, pork pops, and dairy and grains edge higher. The big question — is this the foundation for a rebound, or just a pause before the next dip?BEEF: After weeks of decline, the market has found its floor. Ribeyes, tenderloins, and strips are on the rise again — the question is how fast this rebound will move.POULTRY: Chicken prices have steadied after big drops, with only minor movement expected. But as avian flu cases climb again, how long can this calm last?GRAINS: Talk of a new trade deal with China pushed corn, soy, and wheat higher. If exports pick up, could this be the start of a grain rally?PORK: Bellies spiked $20 to $151, catching the market off guard. Is this a one-week blip or the start of a seasonal climb?DAIRY: Cheese is moving higher, butter finally holding steady. The big question — can demand keep this rally alive with supply still strong?Savalfoods.com | Find us on Social Media: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn

 Today on Consuming the Craft, I sat down with Brian Simpson, CEO of Riverbend Malt House, to explore the fascinating evolution of craft malt in the southeast. We covered Riverbend's journey from a modest basement setup in 2010 to a dynamic operation producing unique and locally sourced malts for breweries and distilleries across the country. I poured Brian a special whiskey from Oak and Grist, made with peach wood smoked pilsner malt from Riverbend, sparking a deep dive into the nuances of smoked malts, wood selection, collaboration with local farmers, and the influence of southern terroir on flavor. We discussed industry trends, new grain varieties, regulatory changes, and the powerful role of innovation in the craft beverage scene. Brian Simpson is at the helm of Riverbend Malt House, the pioneering Asheville-based craft maltster dedicated to bringing local grains into the hands of southern brewers and distillers. Since 2010, Brian has led Riverbend's transformation, supporting research efforts, working with breeders and farmers, and experimenting with new malting techniques and materials. Riverbend's malts have contributed to award-winning beers and spirits, and Brian's passion for innovation continues to drive the industry forward—whether it's through peach wood smoked whiskey, custom malt batches, or supporting the next wave of craft beverages. “We really only had six row barleys... mostly for animal feed. Our whole ‘malt with a mission' was to bring agriculture back into craft beer.” ~Brian Simpson This Week on Consuming the Craft: ·     Riverbend Malt House started in 2010, initially focusing on proving craft malt could be made from southern-grown grains.·     The region's transition from only animal-feed barley to diverse, high-quality brewing and distilling varieties involved close partnerships with breeders and farmers.·     Smoking malt with different woods, such as peach wood, creates uniquely Southern flavor profiles, especially in spirits and specialty beers.·     Collaborations, like Oak and Grist's peach wood-smoked whiskey, showcase the power of local malt and creative partnerships.·     The craft malt industry is watching for regulatory trends, including the potential U.S. adoption of glycosidic nitrile limits and concerns about ethyl carbomate.·     There's growing demand in the south for distillers' malt, high-enzyme, fast-fermentation varieties suitable for whiskey production.·     New and alternative grains like Kernza, millet, and buckwheat present technical challenges but offer gluten-free options and environmental benefits.·     The craft beverage industry's best chance for survival lies in providing experiences, agility, and inventive offerings rather than just chasing trends.

US/China trade deal has China agreeing to buy US soybeans; basis pushing higher at the Gulf; higher soybeans price action pulls wheat and corn higher.

The United States is on track to export a record amount of fuel ethanol for the second year in a row in 2025, driven by growing international demand. That demand was evident at the recent Global Ethanol Summit, hosted by the U.S. Grains and Bioproducts Council and supported by the Renewable Fuels Association, which drew more than 450 international buyers and end-users of ethanol and its co-products from more than 40 countries. In this edition of the Ethanol Report podcast we hear from RFA's exports expert Ed Hubbard who discusses the summit, his participation in a recent trade mission to the UK, and what the new trade deals in Southeast Asia mean for the ethanol industry.

Grains higher again on trade deal hopes; China buys US soybeans; weather still dry in US southern plains.

Grains strongly higher on trade hopes with China; export inspections update; weather nearly ideal for South American crops.

Grains pushing higher on trade optimism; South American weather ideal for corn and soybeans; world FOB update.

Cattle futures made use of expanded limits today while soybeans closed 25 cents higher. Kyle Bumsted, livestock market analyst, recaps Monday's trade. Topics: - Cattle use expanded limits - Expanded limits Tuesday - Cash cattle trading already - Cattle on Feed estimates - Grains fair much better - What's the next headline?

Futures higher across the grain space; China shopping wheat; higher crude oil supports corn and beans; Russia government increases wheat production estimate; CPI less than expected.

This week Jace and Mike talk quick on the cattle market along with the soybean handling China news. Major upcoming meetings next week will likely play a part in the direction of soybeans.

Host Dr. Vera Tarman speaks with Daniel Trevor—entrepreneur-turned “citizen scientist” and author of Unholy Trinity: How Carbs, Sugars, and Oils Make Us Fat, Sick, and Addicted, and How to Escape Their Grip. After a near-fatal heart attack, Daniel dove into medical literature, clinician interviews, and self-tracking. He shares the arguments behind his book, why he believes hyperinsulinemia is a “gateway disease,” how diet patterns may influence cardiometabolic risk and cravings, and the testing he advocates so people can “don't guess—test.” We also discuss controversy in nutrition science, harm-reduction ways to experiment with food choices, and how to navigate mixed messages from experts. About our guest Daniel Trevor has founded high-tech companies, worked in anti-aging projects, and spent 20 years as an actor and musician. His health crisis catalyzed a research journey that informed Unholy Trinity. He now writes and speaks about low-carb/keto to carnivore approaches, lab testing, and lifestyle change. What we cover Daniel's pivot from “Mr. Healthy” to heart-attack survivor and researcher Hyperinsulinemia → insulin resistance → cardiometabolic disease (Daniel's “gateway disease” model) Why some people see a rise in LDL on low-carb diets and what advanced lipoprotein testing (e.g., NMR LipoProfile) may reveal “Lean-mass hyper-responder” profile: high LDL with low triglycerides and high HDL—what it means and why it's debated Coronary artery calcium (CAC) scores, soft vs. calcified plaque, and the “CAC paradox” as Daniel understands it Grains, seed oils, and sugar: Daniel's case for their role in appetite, cravings, and disease risk; critique of popular diet guidance Statins, side effects, and absolute risk/benefit as presented by Daniel (and why shared decision-making matters) Practical, harm-reduction steps: food substitutions, lab work, and building a sustainable plan Where Daniel's thinking intersects—and conflicts—with mainstream guidelines, and how listeners can evaluate claims Key takeaways “Don't guess—test.” Daniel urges listeners to use accessible labs and scans (prioritizing a small set if resources are limited) and to pair results with symptoms and function. Protein and structure can reduce chaos. He advocates prioritizing animal protein, minimizing refined carbs/sugars and seed oils, and making like-for-like swaps to lower cravings. Context matters. Individual responses vary (genetics, meds, comorbidities, history with restriction/addiction). Go slow, track, and use support. Hold nuance. Nutrition science evolves; some claims remain contested.
