Does it take more than a calling to be a missionary? This week, Alex Kocman and Scott Dunford are joined by Matt Bennett and Ryan Robertson, co-authors of The Path to Being a Missionary, to explore a question that often gets overlooked: not simply, “Am I called?” but “Am I qualified?” Together, they discuss why churches should assess aspiring missionaries based on biblical character, sound doctrine, and proven competency rather than personal desire alone. Their conversation also looks at encouraging trends in missions today, including a renewed emphasis on theology, the local church, and careful missionary preparation. Matt and Ryan challenge churches to invest in developing future missionaries over time, helping them grow in character, convictions, and ministry skills before they are sent. Key Topics: Why qualification matters as much as a desire to serve in missions The difference between a missionary “calling” and a missionary aspiration How churches can better evaluate and prepare missionary candidates The role of character, convictions, and competency in missionary readiness Why God's glory—not simply human lostness—is the primary motivation for missions Practical encouragement for aspiring missionaries who are still preparing for future service Do you love The Missions Show?

https://19-minutes.supercast.comRecord corn demand is supporting the grain markets, but additional acres, August rainfall, and harvest pressure could quickly change the outlook. Chris Barron is joined by Matt Bennett of agmarket.net to examine the crop, demand, and marketing risks heading into August 3-7.Matt discusses why he questions the USDA's current crop ratings and whether the national corn yield can exceed 183 bushels per acre. They examine the possibility of additional corn acres, exports running well ahead of last year, and why a smaller yield could create a much tighter balance sheet. They also explain why the longer-term corn story remains constructive even if prices face pressure before harvest.The conversation also covers wheat volatility related to Russia and Ukraine, soybean prices following their recent decline, strong domestic crush demand, and how a wetter August could affect soybean yield expectations. Matt closes with guidance for managing old-crop corn, harvest deliveries, basis, and on-farm storage without leaving too many bushels exposed.Topics include:USDA corn yield and acreage uncertaintyRecord domestic and global corn demandCorn exports running ahead of projectionsAugust weather and crop conditionsHarvest price and basis riskOld-crop corn still in storageWheat volatility and opportunities for cornSoybean prices and strong crush demandSouth American weather and El NiñoOn-farm storage and harvest marketing decisionsLearn more from Matt Bennett at agmarket.net.#GrainMarkets #CornPrices #SoybeanPrices

The July 30 edition of Commodity Week features agricultural market analysis from panelists Matt Bennett, Chip Nellinger, and Jason Winter. The discussion centers on the immediate threat of severe heat and dry weather to crop yields in the Dakotas, alongside a sustained regional shift from wheat to corn and soybean acreage. Jason Winter highlights strong ongoing corn demand from the Pacific Northwest and intensified local soybean competition driven by newly constructed processing plants in North Dakota. The analysts concur that while short-term market movements will be dictated by impending weather forecasts, long-term prices will likely remain supported by shrinking global stocks and robust domestic demand. Additionally, geopolitical conflicts in the Black Sea and Middle East are identified as key drivers sustaining elevated energy and fertilizer costs. Consequently, the panel recommends that producers leverage on-farm storage to maintain long-term crop ownership while pragmatically pricing essential harvest sales.Panelists- Matt Bennett, AgMarket.net- Chip Nellinger, Blue Reef Agri-Marketing- Jason Winter, Columbia Grain International ★ Support this podcast ★

The July 30, 2026, episode of the Closing Market Report covers recent developments in agricultural commodity markets, industry news, consumer trends, and regional weather forecasts. Market analyst Matt Bennett discusses the recent downturn in soybean and corn futures, attributing the market's sell-off to anticipated weekend rainfall across the dry Corn Belt. The agricultural news segment briefly highlights upcoming Farm Bill markup negotiations, updated USDA wetland determinations, and an expected increase in farmland supply entering the fall sales season. Next, CoBank livestock economist Abby Groves explains the rapid expansion of the $4.4 billion meat snack industry, noting that the 45% category growth is largely driven by consumers seeking convenient, high-protein options and the rising use of GLP-1 weight-loss medications. Concluding the broadcast, meteorologist Mike Tannura reviews the exceptionally warm and dry conditions of the past 15 days that have negatively impacted crop ratings, while forecasting a strong incoming weather system expected to bring one to three inches of stabilizing rain across the Midwest.01:22 Ag Markets with Matt Bennett, AgMarket.net07:38 WILLAg News Update10:15 Meat Snacks: Market Growth, GLP-1s, & Innovation17:28 Ag Weather with Mike Tannura, Tstorm.net ★ Support this podcast ★

The July 23, 2026, edition of the Closing Market Report examines commodity market volatility, political gridlock affecting agricultural policy, and highly concerning weather forecasts. Matt Bennett of AgMarket.net highlights new contract highs in November soybeans, attributing current market dynamics to geopolitical conflicts in the Black Sea and Iran, combined with the threat of dry weather in the Corn Belt. In political news, legislative progress on the Farm Bill and other GOP initiatives remains stalled due to Mitch McConnell's health-related absence and the passing of Lindsey Graham, which has left Republicans without key committee majorities. Meanwhile, the Renewable Fuels Association is heavily promoting new polling data demonstrating 73 percent bipartisan voter support for year-round E15 gasoline sales in an effort to overcome Senate roadblocks. Finally, Mike Tannura of Tstorm Weather warns that while 30-day rainfall totals appear average, the most recent 15 days were historically dry, and predictive models for the next 14 days project potentially record-breaking heat and drought conditions across major corn and soybean producing regions.02:06 Ag Markets with Matt Bennett, AgMarket.net07:55 McConnell's Absence, Graham's Death Hobble GOP Initiatives09:48 RFA Uses Voter Polling Data to Support E1517:02 Ag Weather with Mike Tannura, Tstorm Weather ★ Support this podcast ★

The July 16, 2026 edition of the Closing Market Report covers commodity markets, soil management research, and regional agricultural weather patterns. Host Todd Gleason opens the program from the National Association of Farm Broadcasting event in Kansas City, sharing first-hand observations of resilient midwestern corn crops despite recent heat waves. Market analyst Matt Bennett of AgMarket.net discusses current wheat and energy price volatility driven by geopolitical factors, noting that while the corn crop is progressing well through pollination, upcoming weather conditions will determine the extent of market premiums. University of Illinois PhD student Blake Link reports from the Orr Research Center on the expanding necessity of sulfur fertilizers across the Corn Belt, explaining the different forms of sulfur applications and their chemical effects on soil acidity. Finally, Mike Tannura of Tstorm Weather provides a global and domestic agricultural weather outlook, highlighting a temperature divide between a hotter northern region and a milder south, the potential for early-season monsoonal rains in August, and the localized atmospheric impacts of seasonal wildfire smoke on crop photosynthesis and daytime temperatures.01:10 Ag Markets with Matt Bennett, AgMarket.net 08:38 Evaluating the Need for Sulfur Fertilizers in the Corn Belt 16:03 Ag Weather with Mike Tannura, Tstorm.net ★ Support this podcast ★

This July 9, 2026, edition of the *Closing Market Report*, hosted by Todd Gleason, covers agricultural markets, weather forecasts, and a local wildlife rescue. Matt Bennett of AgMarket.net begins by analyzing recent commodity market fluctuations, attributing the downturn to profit-taking ahead of the upcoming July WASDE report and shifting weather expectations. The program then takes a unique turn as Gleason recounts his unexpected absence the previous day, which involved coordinating with an arborist and the local Wildlife Medical Clinic to return a fallen baby Cooper's Hawk to its 65-foot-high nest. Finally, Mike Tannura of Tstorm Weather outlines the complexities of the upcoming 10-to-14-day weather models, highlighting the tension between a potential Midwestern heat dome and cooler Canadian air, while noting that current soil moisture remains largely adequate for the critical crop pollination period.01:33 Ag Markets with Matt Bennett, AgMarket.net07:37 Putting a Cooper's Hawk Chick Back in its Nest15:44 Ag Weather with Mike Tannura, Tstorm.net ★ Support this podcast ★

In the July 2 edition of Commodity Week, host Todd Gleason and panelists Shane Holtorf, Naomi Blohm, and Matt Bennett review regional disparities in crop conditions, highlighting strong growth in Iowa and Wisconsin against waterlogged, disease-threatened fields in East Central Illinois. Analyzing the USDA Grain Stocks report, the panel notes that while a brief market rally occurred, old crop corn stocks remain near an eight-year high, advising producers to sell before seasonal pressure mounts. New crop corn carryout is projected between 1.80 and 1.90 billion bushels, with prices likely to test harvest lows unless major weather disruptions occur or WASDE reports introduce bullish data. Similarly, despite current resilience driven by strong domestic crush margins, the soybean market faces significant downside risk and technical selling pressure without immediate new crop purchases from China.Panelists - Matt Bennett, AgMarket.net - Windsor, IL - Naomi Blohm, TotalFarmMarketing.com - West Bend, WI - Shane Holtorf, LogicAg.com - Alta, IA ★ Support this podcast ★

The July 2, 2026, edition of the Closing Market Report highlights commodity settlements and a shift toward a weather-driven market. Analyst Matt Bennett and industry leaders discuss the agricultural risks of the USMCA entering an annual review process rather than an automatic renewal, while Representative Angie Craig connects rising farm bankruptcies to current trade policies and reduced food assistance. On the agronomic front, entomologist Nick Seiter advises producers to scout for corn leaf aphids during early reproductive crop stages, though he notes severe outbreaks are rare. Finally, meteorologist Mike Tannura forecasts near-term cooling for Illinois and outlines competing mid-July models that predict either a beneficial cool front or a persistent heat dome during the critical corn pollination window.02:13 Ag Markets with Matt Bennett, AgMarket.net07:06 WILLAg News Update for July 2, 202611:28 Corn Leaf Aphids – when to scout and what to expect16:00 Ag Weather with Mike Tannura, T-storm WeatherClick here to view the episode transcript. ★ Support this podcast ★

The June 25, 2026, edition of the Closing Market Report, hosted by Todd Gleason, provides a comprehensive overview of agricultural markets, national news, and weather forecasts. Market analyst Matt Bennet of AgMarket.net discusses the day's surprising market rally, attributing the upward movement in corn, soybeans, and wheat primarily to short covering by funds ahead of the volatile June 30th acreage and stocks reports. In agricultural news, a major development out of Washington, D.C., reveals that provisions for year-round E15 sales and billions in economic farm aid have been included in a national security supplemental request. The program also features a call for volunteers for the University of Illinois's regional corn rootworm trapping network and a historical segment by Rod Bain commemorating a century of USDA Radio broadcasting. Finally, meteorologist Mike Tannura of T-storm Weather details the current wet and cool conditions across the Central U.S., warning of an impending major weather pattern change that is expected to bring a sustained and potentially damaging heat wave to the Corn Belt by early July.02:44 Ag Markets with Matt Bennett, AgMarket .net09:10 Year Round E15 and Economic Aid for Farmers11:11 U of IL Looking for Rootworm Trap Volunteers12:24 A Century of USDA Radio17:04 Ag Weather with Mike Tannura, T-storm Weather  ★ Support this podcast ★

Matt Bennett — co-founder and executive vice president of the center-left think tank Third Way — joins the Chuck Toddcast to offer a pragmatist's anxious assessment of what the Mamdani-led DSA surge in New York actually means for the future of the Democratic Party. Bennett's central worry is whether the New York primaries represent a genuine "Tea Party moment" for the left — which he frankly admits would be scary for Democrats — though he takes some comfort in the fact that the three districts Mamdani candidates won are extraordinarily deep blue, and argues the national Democratic electorate simply isn't as extreme as the Republican base, making the party much harder to hijack than the GOP was. Bennett draws a crucial distinction in how these races were actually won: Mamdani himself won on affordability, but many of his endorsees won on Israel, where anti-Israel sentiment has become the number-one voting issue for New York progressives. He's careful but direct on the antisemitism question — not all of the far-left are antisemites, he says, but they are increasingly making common cause with them, pointing to the antisemitic abuse Dan Goldman faced during his campaign — and argues that while antisemitism won't ultimately eat the Democratic Party, it absolutely needs to be contained. Bennett is sharply critical of the self-inflicted wounds of progressive governance (decriminalizing shoplifting was a disaster, he says), and argues the broader problem is that left-coded "performative nonsense" fundamentally changed how voters see the party — that the country rejected both Biden's progressive overreach and the left's woke cultural politics, and that Biden's real mistake was bragging he was the most progressive president since FDR. The conversation broadens into a rich strategic discussion about 2028 and the soul of the party. Bennett argues that parties are ultimately defined by their nominee, so Democrats will be fine if they simply get that choice right, and frames the Michigan Senate primary — where he's skeptical Abdul El-Sayed can beat Mike Rogers — as a fascinating case study in the tension between charisma and electability. He makes the case that charisma genuinely matters (Mamdani and El-Sayed have it), that "boring doesn't work" in modern politics, and that the biggest open question for 2028 is whether a center-left candidate can successfully run as a genuine change agent — because the status quo is extremely broken, and no one can win by running to preserve it. Bennett offers some encouraging signs for his wing of the party: Iowa is drifting back toward Democrats, James Talarico is a genuinely strong candidate in Texas, and candidate quality still matters enormously. He and Chuck dig into why Palestine became the defining progressive cause rather than the plight of the Uighurs, how social media and the collapse of civics education have sealed people into ideological bubbles, and why the word "socialism" means Norway to some voters and Cuba to others. Bennett argues that Netanyahu has personally turned off a generation of young Americans to Israel — and that if Israelis remove him, it could serve as a genuine relief valve for Democrats — and closes with a series of pointed predictions: Schumer should make clear soon that he won't run for leader again, Warren and Murphy are too far-left-coded to unify the party, both wings could actually rally around Brian Schatz as leader, and the Mamdani story, for all the panic it's generated, is ultimately a minor earthquake rather than a major fracture.

Chuck Todd opens with a programming note—the ToddCast moves to a Monday/Thursday schedule for July and August—before digging into the fallout from Zohran Mamdani-endorsed candidates sweeping New York's primaries. Chuck unpacks who powered the wins (younger, white progressives), argues that Mamdani's affordability focus rather than his endorsements was the real galvanizing force, and examines how Israel has become a litmus test on a left that, like MAGA, increasingly has little patience for the pluralism Chuck calls the heart of the American experiment—warning that when every issue becomes a litmus test, disagreement turns into something punishable. He weighs whether this is a singular New York moment or a broader realignment in which two uncompromising factions come to dominate both parties, with Abdul El-Sayed's Michigan Senate bid shaping up as the next big test. From there, Chuck turns to Trump blowing a chance to show voters he cares about affordability by refusing to sign a housing bill that already has veto-proof majorities—and how the president keeps making it nearly impossible for the GOP to govern heading into a brutal midterm stretch he's brought on himself. Finally, an alarming look at Pete Hegseth's overt politicization of the military: the firing of respected leaders like Chris Donahue, purges that appear to target officers for their race, gender, what they know, or their willingness to push back on illegal orders, the removal of the JAGs and the Pentagon press corps, and why Chuck argues that whoever Hegseth wants out may be exactly who the country needs leading it next. Then, Matt Bennett — co-founder and executive vice president of the center-left think tank Third Way — joins the Chuck Toddcast to offer a pragmatist's anxious assessment of what the Mamdani-led DSA surge in New York actually means for the future of the Democratic Party.

Market Plus with Matt Bennett covers managed money exiting commodities and what could drive the next rally.

China's absence in the markets is noticeable as covered in our Market Analysis with Matt Bennett.

In the commodity sector, corn and soybeans experienced a sharp decline, breaking through key moving averages. This downturn was driven by continuous fund selling, speculation about delayed Chinese purchasing, and increased Argentine crop estimates. While farmers have priced approximately 25% of their new crop—outpacing last year's sales—they remain below the 50% to 60% targets recommended by analysts. Future price rallies are heavily dependent on whether the dry northern regions of the Corn Belt receive sufficient rainfall in the coming days.The USDA has confirmed the presence of the New World screwworm in South Texas, initiating a 20-kilometer quarantine zone and releasing sterile flies to halt the infestation. Because the pest spreads almost exclusively through the transportation of infected animals, Midwest herds remain safe as long as cattle are not moved from the southern border area. Pet owners in the affected Texas region are also advised to monitor their animals closely, as the insect feeds on living tissue in open wounds.For growers looking to diversify, premium markets such as non-GMO, organic, and hybrid-specific crops offer strong profit potential. Capitalizing on these premiums requires rigorous on-farm segregation to prevent cross-contamination and proactive planning, as contracts for these specialized programs often reach capacity months in advance.Looking at the weather, the northeast half of the Corn Belt is facing an unusually dry start to the season. An upper-level high-pressure system is expected to maintain above-average temperatures and block major rain events for the next week to ten days. Meanwhile, North American spring wheat is beginning to recover from a historically dry April and May due to recent precipitation, and growing regions across Europe and Russia continue to benefit from highly favorable moisture levels.- Ag Markets with Matt Bennett, AgMarket.net- First Case of New World Screwworm Confirmed in Texas- Premium Crop Market Opportunities Webinar Review with Kelsey Graber, ClarksonGrain.com- Ag Weather with Mike Tannura, Tstorm.net ★ Support this podcast ★

Matt Bennett of AgMarket.net reports that while planting in Illinois is largely complete, the market is closely watching for future demand signals, specifically whether China will fulfill commitments to purchase US corn and new-crop soybeans. Meanwhile, Nick Paulson of the University of Illinois farmdoc team explains that while updated 2026 crop budgets show slight improvements due to higher commodity prices, they still reflect challenging long-term returns, with cost pressures from diesel fuel being partially offset by strong market pricing. Looking at weather, Mike Tannura of Tstorm Weather forecasts a transition to warmer temperatures following a cool, wet spring. While the US Corn Belt faces planting delays due to persistent moisture, Tannura expresses more significant concern regarding drought conditions in the US Northern Plains spring wheat region, even as he notes stable crop conditions across the Black Sea and South America. The program concludes with a look ahead to this week's Commodity Week, featuring analysis from Collin Waters, Dave Chatterton, and Kurt Kimmel. ★ Support this podcast ★

- Ag Markets with Matt Bennett- WILLAg News Update | USDA, USB, Women, and SNAP- Applied Research Results from the University of Illinois- Ag Weather with Mike TannuraThe May 7, 2026, episode of the Closing Market Report features a variety of agricultural updates, beginning with analyst Matt Bennett discussing the sideways trade in corn futures, planting delays caused by wet Midwestern weather, and the impact of crude oil prices and international politics on oilseed markets. Additionally, the program covers agricultural news, noting the USDA's unexplained dismissal of several United Soybean Board members and the implementation of stricter nutritional stocking requirements for retailers in the SNAP program. University of Illinois entomologist Nick Seiter also joins the broadcast to highlight the newly published 2025 Applied Research Results guide, which offers farmers independent data on pest control and new findings concerning the northern corn rootworm. Finally, meteorologist Mike Tannura provides a global weather outlook, detailing severe drought concerns for the U.S. hard red winter wheat crop, favorable planting conditions in the Northwestern Corn Belt, the onset of the dry season for Brazil's safrinha corn, and beneficial rains expected across Europe and Russia. ★ Support this podcast ★

Analyst Matt Bennett noted that heavy rains have paused Midwest farming activities, while severe, persistent drought in the western plains has likely caused irreversible damage to the hard red winter wheat crop. On the legislative front, Jonathan Coppess reported that the U.S. House of Representatives recently passed a modernized farm bill, though it faces an uncertain future and significant challenges in the Senate. Reviewing farm financials, Brad Zwilling explained that while average farm debt-to-asset ratios have remained stable at 18%, the debt per acre has climbed to nearly $900, which is driving up interest expenses for producers. Finally, meteorologist Mike Tannura confirmed the severe drought damage to southern winter wheat and observed that while the southeastern Corn Belt is experiencing cool, wet weather that may slow crop growth, the drier conditions in the northwest are currently providing an ideal environment for planting. ★ Support this podcast ★

- Matt Bennett, AgMarket.net- WILLAg News | SAF Market Development & Year-Round E15- Using Metribuzin to Manage Group 15 Resistant Waterhemp- Mike Tannura, Tstorm.netThe April 16, 2026, broadcast of the Closing Market Report covers updates on agricultural markets, biofuels, weed management, and national weather impacts. Market analyst Matt Bennett explains that corn and soybean markets are consolidating as wet and cold weather temporarily pauses planting across the Midwest, warning that high energy and fertilizer costs pose long-term profitability risks for growers. In policy news, industry leaders are advocating for federal support to expand the Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) market, while lawmakers simultaneously push for year-round E15 to combat inflation and assist farmers facing negative margins. On the agronomy front, weed scientist Aaron Hager advises that with waterhemp populations in Illinois showing resistance to group 15 herbicides, farmers should consider utilizing metribuzin, an older asymmetrical triazine that remains effective against the weed. Finally, meteorologist Mike Tannura details severe, ongoing drought conditions and an impending freeze threatening winter wheat in the western plains and southern United States, a situation that contrasts sharply with record wet conditions delaying fieldwork in northern states like Michigan. ★ Support this podcast ★

- Matt Bennett, AgMarket.net- Resistant Waterhemp, maybe Metribuzin- Mike Tannura, Tstorm.netThe April 9, 2026 closing market report covers agricultural commodity markets, weed control strategies, and Midwestern weather forecasts. Analyst Matt Bennett characterized the day's USDA WASDE report as largely uneventful, noting ample global corn supplies and continuing competitive pressure from South American soybean exports. University of Illinois weed scientist Aaron Hager then detailed the increasing resistance of waterhemp to Group 15 and PPO-inhibiting herbicides across the state, advising producers to consider metribuzin as a viable and cost-effective alternative for residual control. Finally, meteorologist Mike Tannura highlighted severe drought conditions currently impacting over half of the U.S. hard red winter wheat crop. He forecast upcoming rain systems that will primarily benefit eastern, lower-elevation areas of the Plains while leaving western regions dry, alongside additional precipitation expected to move into the Corn Belt during the planting season. ★ Support this podcast ★

Progressive and centrist Democratic candidates had big wins in the 2025 elections. On this week's On the Media, a data scientist fact-checks the claim that Democrats need moderate voters to win. Plus, an Arizona state senator shares how she's reaching her constituents on TikTok and on the ground.[01:00] Host Brooke Gladstone sits down with G. Elliot Morris, a journalist, statistician, and author of the data-driven news website Strength in Numbers, to hash out what the data says about whether becoming more moderate is really the key to Democratic candidates winning more elections.[20:09] Brooke chats with Matt Bennett, co-founder of Third Way, a center-left think tank, about his view that Zohran Mamdani's win in New York City poses a “serious political problem” for the Democrats.[36:06] Finally, Brooke calls up Analise Ortiz, state senator for Arizona's 24th district, to discuss how TikTok, old-fashioned door-knocking, and making tangible differences in peoples' lives is the way for the Democrats to start winning again. Further reading:Moderation is not a silver bullet, by G.
