King Charles addresses Congress as global tensions and domestic uncertainty collide in a packed politics hour. From a fragile Iran ceasefire to Iowa's MAHA bill and a surprise gubernatorial endorsement, political scientists Jim McCormick and Megan Goldberg break down the latest political news.

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 ★

A war at a volatile tipping point and a "barnburner" race for Iowa's governor. On this Politics Day episode, political scientists Karen Kedrowski and Jim McCormick of Iowa State University join to discuss how the Iran war is raising concerns about the global economy, as well as the Iowa governor's race now being rated a "toss up." Also, President Donald Trump's clashes with the Pope and what that could mean for Catholic voters and why two congressmen — including Iowa native Eric Swalwell, resigned this week.

The much-anticipated USDA Prospective Plantings and Quarterly Grain Stocks reports were released Tuesday, March 31st — and one of the main takeaways: America really likes to grow corn. Corn acreage came in higher than expected, while soybeans and wheat were slightly below estimates. Grain stocks were also higher across the board compared to last year. Jim McCormick from AgMarket.net joins us to break it all down. Find more at https://www.agmarket.net

19 Minutes PodcastGrain markets have turned volatile fast, and that changes the conversation for corn and soybean farmers. In this episode of the Ag View Pitch, Chris sits down with Jim McCormick to break down what is driving the recent rally, how Middle East conflict and crude oil are affecting grain prices, why fertilizer costs matter so much right now, and what growers should be thinking about for both old crop and new crop marketing.They also dig into practical questions farmers are asking right now. Should you be more aggressive selling old crop corn? How should you think about 2026 sales if profitable targets are finally hitting? How much could higher diesel and fertilizer costs change acreage decisions? And how do you avoid getting too bullish and missing a good marketing opportunity?This conversation covers corn, soybeans, crude oil, fertilizer, inflation, ROI targets, basis opportunities, and using risk management tools to stay flexible in a fast-moving market. If you are trying to make smarter grain marketing decisions heading into planting season, this is a good one to watch.

Susan Littlefield sits in on today's show and has a conversation with Jim McCormick from AgMarket.net and much more.

19 Minutes PodcastAs 2025 comes to a close and the calendar turns to 2026, Chris sits down with Jim McCormick of agmarket.net to walk through what grain producers should be watching right now. With year-end trading volume thin, basis behavior can get aggressive as elevators work through inventory and producers make financial adjustments, creating both opportunity and risk.Jim explains why soybean rallies may continue to attract selling pressure, especially with China's recent purchases coming in lighter than early expectations and Brazil shaping up for a strong crop. He outlines 10.80 as the upper end of the current trading range and discusses why unpriced bushels may need a plan if that level is tested. On corn, the conversation shifts to technicals after March futures broke a long-term downtrend, while still facing heavy resistance in the $4.50 to $4.60 zone given large projected ending stocks.The discussion also looks ahead to the upcoming USDA report, where yield and acreage adjustments could create volatility, and why delayed fund position data remains an important missing piece. South American weather, especially dryness concerns in southern Argentina, is another key factor to monitor. Chris and Jim also dig into cash flow pressure building toward spring, slower soybean selling compared to past years, and how larger lines of credit could force bushels to move.The conversation wraps with thoughts on 2026 marketing strategy, including why panic selling a crop more than a year out may not make sense, what price levels could justify forward selling corn, limited interest in 2026 soybeans so far, and why energy markets suggest patience when locking in fuel. Jim also shares lessons from 2025 that producers should carry forward, including knowing break-evens precisely, staying flexible, and being ready for faster market moves than in the past.

We caught up with Declan Watters to learn more about his innovative and powerful tech for good medical app that he has developed. Declan Watters, MediSnap Who are we talking to, is it a logical journey to what you do now? I'm Declan Watters, a practicing paramedic and co-founder of MediSnap. The journey makes complete sense when you look back, though I didn't plan it this way. I started in pharmacy at age 14, working under Jim McCormick at Magees Pharmacy in Letterkenny. Spent 22 years in pharmaceutical retail, progressing through Cara Pharmacy Group, learning everything about medications - from otc, brand, generic and trade along with dispensing and wholesale operations. Then I moved into paramedicine about six years ago, completing my BSc (Hons) in Paramedic Science from UCC this year. I also have a BSc in Computer Science from LYIT back in 2005, which I honestly thought I'd never use professionally. Turns out, having pharmacy knowledge, emergency medicine experience, and computing skills is the exact combination needed to build MediSnap. The platform exists because I live this problem daily. When you meet someone in an emergency situation and they can't tell you what medications they're on - unconscious patients, confused elderly people, language barriers, flustered family members- you're making critical decisions with incomplete information. we built the tool I needed without actually knowing what we had. What are you currently working on? MediSnap - an AI-powered medication identification platform for healthcare professionals. You photograph medication packaging, prescriptions,bottle, handwritten or blister packs, and within 3-5 seconds you get instant identification plus critical drug interaction alerts. Rapidly painting a picture and allowing the medical professional to move ahead with treatment and cuts minutes googling medications, we cant know them all! We've just launched on Google Play Store, with iOS coming shortly. The platform supports multiple languages - English, Irish, Ukrainian, Polish, Portuguese, and Spanish - because language barriers are a massive issue in emergency healthcare. Especially the Cyrillic alphabet recognition, it read Ukrainian language and packaging. Right now we are managing rapid growth whilst preparing for regulatory approval through HPRA (Health Products Regulatory Authority). We've gone from company registration in October to 352 registered healthcare professionals using it operationally in emergency situations. We've had nearly 100,000 website hits and over 3,500 people checking out the platform. That's all organic growth - healthcare workers telling their colleagues about it. We dont have marketing or a budget. I'm also in conversations with Enterprise Ireland for seed funding, and we've got national media coverage coming. It's been a whirlwind few weeks. How long did it take you to build up the app, and how has it evolved over time? From company registration to live product took about six weeks. We launched the beta in late October 2025, and we've just gone commercial on Android. It was built on a shoestring budget whilst working full-time as a paramedic - evenings, nights, weekends. But we have been developing this this for the best part of 2025. I should mention - I have a silent partner, my Co-Founder and CTO, who handles all the technical development. We've been best mates since childhood, so working together just clicks. A lot of the best decisions happen over a pint or on the phone late at night, talking through problems. He prefers to stay out of the spotlight, but I couldn't have built this without him. Having someone you trust completely makes the hard days manageable. We compiled the proprietary medication database using my 22 years of pharmaceutical knowledge, designed the clinical workflows based on what I actually need in the field, and handled all the testing with colleagues. My co-founder built the platform architecture and makes sure everything actually works tech...

As we finish up harvest season in the U.S. and turn our attention towards the end of 2025, there is still plenty of certain uncertainty at play across the grain and livestock markets.

We ended up seeing a mostly lower day on Tuesday led by soybeans and cattle futures. Was this more of a one-off trading day or is it a recalibration of the markets after the recent moves?

In this week's Market Outlook, Chris Barron sits down with Jim McCormick of AgMarket.net to break down the first full week of November. They discuss mixed yield results as harvest wraps up, with soybeans outperforming expectations and corn yields slipping due to late-season heat and disease. The conversation dives deep into the new U.S.–China trade agreement, its impact on soybean demand, and concerns over whether China will follow through. Jim also shares market strategies for producers—how to approach soybean and corn sales, what basis improvements to watch for, and how fund activity and global money flow could drive volatility. Tune in for a timely, pragmatic look at where grain markets could head next.

In business and in life, the most dangerous risk you can take is avoiding risk altogether. Whether it's leading a team, making strategic investments, or navigating unpredictable markets, risk is always present, yet most leaders misunderstand how to harness it. In this episode, Jim McCormick, best-selling author (The First Time Manager, The Power of Risk) and founder of the Research Institute of Risk Intelligence, shares lessons from 5,590 skydives, high-stakes political decision-making, and years of advising executives on building “risk intelligent” organizations. He breaks down why people are naturally risk-averse, the two-part “Risk Equation” leaders must master, and how to balance instigators and mitigators for optimal decision-making. You'll learn how to assess opportunities using ideal, most likely, and worst-case scenarios, implement “Possibility of Success Enhancement Measures” (POSSUMS) to improve outcomes, and set guardrails that encourage innovation without micromanagement. Jim also explores how to measure personal and team Risk Quotients, create cultures that reward constructive risk-taking—even when initiatives fail—and avoid the trap of over-relying on AI for critical decisions.   ________________ Start your day with the world's top leaders by joining thousands of others at Great Leadership on Substack.
