The July 29, 2026, edition of the Closing Market Report examines agricultural market volatility, variable crop conditions, and regional weather impacts. Analyst Greg Johnson attributes recent market shifts to uncertainties surrounding Chinese soybean purchases, U.S. tariffs and a highly variable U.S. corn crop. A review of the USDA crop progress report indicates advanced development in the upper Midwest, while the Crop Protection Network currently assesses a low risk for tar spot disease across the region. Josh Linville warns of a fall phosphate fertilizer shortage, why farmers might forego applications, and what happens if demand surges unexpectedly. Meteorologist Drew Lerner concludes the broadcast by analyzing recent heat stress in the northwestern Corn Belt, noting that impending rainfall should prevent severe production losses.00:20 Ag Markets with Greg Johnson, Total Grain Marketing09:36 Weekly Crop Progress Report State Anomalies11:43 Crop Risk Tool & Tar Spot Development14:58 Phosphate Fertilizer Squeeze with Josh Linville17:19 Ag Weather with Drew Lerner, World Weather Inc. ★ Support this podcast ★

The July 23 edition of Commodity Week, hosted by Todd Gleason, features agricultural market analysis from panelists Greg Johnson, Dave Chatterton, Curt Kimmel, and emeritus guest Wayne Nelson. The central theme of the program revolves around recent price rallies in the grain markets, with soybeans reaching the $12 range and corn nearing $5. The panelists strongly encourage farmers to focus on securing profitability through incremental, scale-up sales rather than trying to perfectly time the absolute top of the market. Key drivers of these market dynamics include highly variable Midwestern crop conditions—stemming from a wet planting season and localized dry spells—alongside significant global factors such as the Russian-Ukrainian war, a European drought, the South American El Niño, and the unpredictable nature of Chinese agricultural demand. The episode concludes on a sentimental note as Curt Kimmel announces his retirement at the end of the month, prompting fond farewells and reflections on his long career from his colleagues.Panelists- Dave Chatterton, SFMarketing.com- Greg Johnson, TotalGrainMarketing.com- Curt Kimmel, AgMarket.net- Wayne Nelson, WILLAg Emeritus ★ Support this podcast ★

The July 22, 2026, edition of the Closing Market Report, hosted by Todd Gleason, provides a comprehensive update on agricultural markets, policy news, and weather forecasts. Market analyst Greg Johnson highlights a recent rally in soybean and wheat prices fueled by strong domestic crush demand and geopolitical tensions in the Black Sea, which has encouraged cash sales among Central Illinois farmers. The news segment covers significant staffing reductions at local Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) offices that threaten conservation programs, alongside a report on the looming economic impact of new Section 301 tariffs following a recent Supreme Court ruling. Finally, meteorologist Drew Lerner offers a weather outlook, noting favorable crop conditions in the eastern Corn Belt while warning of persistent heat and dryness that threaten crops and livestock across the western plains, the Dakotas, and the Delta region.01:56 Ag Markets with Greg Johnson, TGM Total Grain Marketing10:57 24 Illinois Counties Lose Half or All NRCS Staffing11:59 Trump Tariffs Still Looming over Economy14:33 Ag Weather with Drew Lerner, World Weather Inc. ★ 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 ★

When you began to follow Christ did you ever think: I could never be a missionary—that's not my thing. My thing is more in tech areas and tech areas aren't in the Bible—why would God want me to serve? I think I'd best sit on the sidelines and give my offering on a regular basis! Today we get to hear from my friend, Greg Johnson, an electronic and computer engineer – a friend who reminded me sits on the opposite end of the same pew most Sundays but it's funny how we don't talk all that often. Too busy talking to other people! Greg and his wife Bonnie have 4 grown daughters. He grew up with a dad who modeled serving God and the church in practical ways, and Greg went along with him to sweep the leaves and clear the gutters at their local church. When he knew he wanted to become an engineer, his pastor thought he should go to Bible school instead. But Greg knew even then how God had wired him and he came on up to Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, met his wife Bonnie in college leadership at our very own Grace Central Coast. When he retired 6 years ago from a very stressful job at the local nuclear power plant, Greg discovered even more ways to serve his Savior. Hear his story and be encouraged! Some gems from our conversation: It's such a blessing to give a gift to others that they could never repay—just like God giving us His Son, Jesus. Building homes in Mexico alongside all generations has taught me the importance and joy of building all sorts of new relationships. What's fun about serving God is that you don't have to be a pastor or a missionary; you just serve God with the gifts he's given you.  Samaritan's Purse shows people during a crisis that God hasn't forgotten them. I find joy in serving God outside the four walls of the church.  I'm in my happy place with I get to use my skill-set to help others and it's made me bolder in sharing the Gospel.  I've cried more with my 4 girls since working Samaritan's Purse than all their years growing up. God's given me a new heart of compassion.  I've mostly been to conflict zones so I can't give a lot of details but it's been amazing to work alongside all kinds of nationalities, professions and generations. Helping people is the bridge to sharing the Gospel.

The July 8, 2026, edition of the *Closing Market Report* covered commodity market fluctuations, regional agricultural updates, and international weather conditions. Farm broadcaster Todd Gleason hosted the program, noting that while the final numbers from the CME Group were unavailable, grain markets faced downward pressure due to geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, contrasting with a notable rise in crude oil prices. Greg Johnson of Total Grain Marketing discussed a 50% retracement on corn charts following the June crop report, outlining local crop conditions in Illinois and evaluating market dynamics like basis levels and Chinese export demand. The broadcast previewed four upcoming University of Illinois Extension and Crop Sciences field days across July, including events at the Orr Center, Heyworth, Monmouth, and Dixon Springs. Finally, Drew Lerner of World Weather Inc. provided an ag weather outlook, highlighting severe heat and moisture deficits hitting the northwestern Corn Belt and northern Plains, alongside extreme drought stress affecting crops across France and parts of Western Europe.00:58 Ag Markets with Greg Johnson, Total Grain Marketing08:56 Four Field Days to Close Out July12:11 Ag Weather with Drew Lerner, World Weather Inc. ★ 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 ★

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 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 ★

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 ★

Henrique Monaco from the farmdoc team briefly highlights the United States' strong domestic capacity for nitrogen and phosphate production, which contrasts with a high reliance on Canadian potassium imports. Finally, Drew Lerner of World Weather Inc. provides a global weather outlook, detailing critical drought relief in the U.S. Southeast and Delta, a beneficial short-term dry down in the Corn Belt, and a rapidly developing El Niño that is expected to bring drier conditions to India and Indonesia in the coming weeks.- Ag Markets with Greg Johnson, TotalGrainMarketing.com- Consolidation in the Fertilizer Industry, farmdocDaily.illinois.edu- Ag Weather with Drew Lerner, WorldWeather.cc ★ Support this podcast ★

The Mission of God: Batteries Sold Separately - Greg Johnson by

The May 20, 2026, Closing Market Report covered agricultural commodities, local infrastructure legislation, global energy supply chain disruptions, and international weather impacts. Market analysts noted that commodity prices initially rallied on potential Chinese agricultural purchases following a diplomatic meeting, but recently declined due to falling crude oil prices and profit-taking. In local news, the Logan County, Illinois Board bypassed a proposed 90-day freeze and instead approved a 12-month moratorium on a new data center project. On the energy front, the ongoing 80-day closure of the Strait of Hormuz has severely disrupted global supplies of crude oil, gasoline, and engine lubricants, with analysts warning that a full recovery to pre-war inventory levels could extend into late 2027. Finally, meteorologists highlighted ongoing drought and freeze stress on U.S. winter wheat, alongside unseasonably wet conditions in Brazil and the Canadian Prairies, though warmer, more favorable planting weather is expected soon for the U.S. Corn Belt.- Ag Markets with Greg Johnson, TotalGrainMarketing.com- Logan County IL Board Imposes 12 Month Data Center Moratorium- Strait of Hormuz Closure May Trigger Years-Long Recovery- Ag Weather with Drew Lerner, WorldWeather.cc ★ Support this podcast ★

Panelist- Greg Johnson, TGM Total Grain Marketing- Chip Nellinger, Blue Reef Agri-Marketing- Brian Stark, The AndersonsThe May 14 edition of Commodity Week, hosted by Todd Gleason, features panelists Greg Johnson, Chip Nellinger, and Brian Stark analyzing several critical agricultural market drivers. The panel extensively reviews the latest USDA WASDE report, highlighting a projected 3-million-acre reduction in corn plantings and emphasizing a slim margin for error in global crop supplies. They also note an unexpected decrease in total corn demand alongside an increase in soybean demand. Geopolitical tensions factor heavily into the market outlook, with the panel observing negative market reactions to the lack of immediate agricultural purchase agreements following recent US-China meetings, particularly as China currently relies on cheaper Brazilian soybeans. Additionally, they discuss the broader macroeconomic risks of crude oil hovering near $100 per barrel while markets await further clarity regarding Iran and the Strait of Hormuz.Shifting to domestic factors and producer strategies, the panelists advise farmers to capitalize on strong eastern cash basis levels and recent market rallies. Specifically, they suggest rewarding $12 soybean futures with sales, while indicating less urgency to sell $5 corn unless summer weather issues materialize. On the policy front, the House's passage of year-round E15 ethanol legislation is characterized as a long-term infrastructure development rather than an immediate demand shock. Finally, the panel observes that Midwest crop planting progress remains highly sporadic due to variable wet and dry weather conditions. ★ Support this podcast ★

Panelists - Naomi Blohm, TotalFarmMarketing.com - Greg Johnson, TGM TotalGrainMarketing.com- Jim McCormick, AgMarket.netThe April 16 edition of Commodity Week, hosted by Todd Gleason, featured panelists Naomi Blohm, Greg Johnson, and Jim McCormick analyzing the current agricultural market landscape and the geopolitical factors influencing it. A primary focus was the potential shift in planting acres from corn to soybeans across the Midwest, driven by elevated input costs—specifically diesel and fertilizer—and compounded by heavy spring rainfall delaying field work. These fertilizer price spikes are being exacerbated by ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, which have trapped shipping vessels in the Persian Gulf and prompted countries like India to heavily subsidize and secure global fertilizer supplies. The panel also evaluated grain marketing strategies, with Greg Johnson noting farmers still may be holding roughly 30% to 35% of their old crop corn in anticipation of a price rally. However, the experts warned that unless significant weather issues or war-driven crude oil spikes emerge by mid-summer, old crop basis could crash as elevators reach capacity ahead of the fall harvest. Consequently, they urged producers to consider moving their remaining grain sooner rather than later to avoid logistical bottlenecks and dropping prices. ★ Support this podcast ★

- Greg Johnson, TGM Total Grain Marketing- How Delayed Fertilizer Shipments Threaten 2027 Yields- Drew Lerner, World Weather IncThe April 15, 2026, commodity markets closed with marginal gains in corn, soybeans, and wheat futures amidst widespread U.S. planting delays. Frequent precipitation across the Midwest has stalled fieldwork, though regions such as southern Illinois have advanced, planting up to half of their soybean crop. Market behavior remains subdued; producers are deferring new crop sales due to stagnant mid-range prices, relying heavily on domestic crush capacity while waiting for necessary improvements in global export and domestic livestock demand.Simultaneously, severe logistical bottlenecks in the Persian Gulf threaten the global fertilizer supply chain following the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. The region, responsible for 18% of global fertilizer exports, currently holds over 40 laden vessels unable to exit. This blockage has triggered an immediate spike in nitrogen and phosphate prices and forced major global producers, including Morocco, China, and Russia, to limit their own exports to protect domestic markets. The resulting scarcity is expected to constrain global agricultural yields through the 2027 harvest.Global weather conditions further complicate the agricultural production outlook. In the U.S., the Hard Red Winter Wheat crop in the High Plains faces detrimental impacts from persistent drought and extreme temperature volatility, including impending freezes, while the Corn Belt remains oversaturated by ongoing storms. Conversely, favorable spring conditions are reported across Europe and the Black Sea regions. In Asia, India's winter harvest benefits from dry weather, with the upcoming monsoon expected to start strong despite a developing El Niño, while China's rapeseed crop faces severe quality degradation from excessive moisture. ★ Support this podcast ★

- Greg Johnson, TGM TotalFarmMarketing.com- Higher Fuel and Fertilizer Prices & Farmer Sentiment- Drew Lerner, WorldWeather.ccThe April 8, 2026, Closing Market Report highlights that corn and soybean prices have decoupled from sharply lower crude oil prices following a temporary ceasefire in the Iran conflict. Analysts advise farmers to lock in current commodity prices, as large carryouts are expected unless a summer drought occurs. Concurrently, economists warn that elevated fuel and fertilizer costs driven by the Middle East conflict will likely persist into the fall, although recent bridge payments and minor commodity rallies have temporarily improved overall farmer sentiment. On the weather front, the Western United States faces long-term water supply concerns due to low snowpack, which could lead to a dry summer in the Plains, while immediate heavy rains in the Midwest threaten to delay spring planting. Internationally, agricultural weather is improving, with Argentina receiving a beneficial dry period and Brazil's safrinha corn utilizing an extended monsoon season. ★ Support this podcast ★

- Greg Johnson, TGM TotalGrainMarketing.com- How Much Soybean Demand will the RVO Create- Drew Lerner, WorldWeather.ccAg Markets with Greg JohnsonThe recent USDA prospective plantings and grain stocks reports were largely neutral for corn and slightly friendly for soybeans. Currently, the market is being driven by geopolitical headlines, with money flowing out of commodities and into equities due to expectations that Middle East tensions may ease. Significant damage to Middle Eastern infrastructure for crude oil and natural gas, a key fertilizer input, will take years to repair. This damage is expected to keep transportation and input costs elevated, contributing to inflation and likely delaying any interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve. Because planted acreage is high enough to meet demand under normal yield conditions, future market movement will heavily depend on actual yields and the actions of investment funds, which are currently holding near-record long positions. Farmers are advised to consider pricing new crop soybeans in the mid-$11 range.How Much Soybean Demand will the RVO Create | farmdocThe EPA recently announced new Renewable Volume Obligations (RVOs) that will increase biomass-based diesel mandates by roughly 60% for 2026 and 2027. Meeting these new mandates will require between 50 and 60 billion pounds of feedstock, consuming approximately half of the world's total supply of fats and oils. This massive increase in domestic demand for soybean oil is expected to push US crush capacity to its absolute limit. Consequently, the US soybean market is pivoting away from exports, which are facing stiff competition from cheaper Brazilian supplies, toward domestic consumption. This transition is highly bullish for domestic pricing, supporting the farmdoc team's projection of an $11 season average cash price.Ag Weather with Drew LernerIn Brazil, the safrinha, or second crop corn, in the north is well-established but will rely heavily on existing soil moisture as the monsoonal rains wind down. Southern safrinha areas are currently dry but still have opportunities to catch rain from passing frontal systems. Meanwhile, in Argentina, a shift in weather patterns has brought heavy rain to previously dry areas. Parts of the country, particularly central Buenos Aires, are now too wet, stalling the sunseed harvest and creating potential quality issues. In the United States, the lower Midwest and northern Delta are expecting multiple waves of significant rain and cooler temperatures, which will likely delay early spring fieldwork. Conversely, dryland crop areas from Texas to Nebraska will see a break from extreme heat but are forecast to remain critically dry for at least another week to 10 days. ★ Support this podcast ★
