What did the May WASDE report have to offer for the grain trade on Monday? Apparently for starters, lower than expected corn and soybean ending stocks. Plus, how much impact did the US/China tariff news have on the markets to start the week? John Heinberg with Total Farm Marketing joins us to break it all down in our Monday conversation. Find more online by visiting https://www.totalfarmmarketing.com. There is plenty to touch on this week in terms of weather as it is warm and windy to start the week throughout the plains and western Corn Belt. More rain is being seen across the Southeast into the eastern Midwest and is there seriously snow potential for parts of the Northern Plains showing up in new model runs? Eric Snodgrass with Nutrien Ag Solutions joins us to discuss on our Weekly Weather Update. Find more at https://www.ag-wx.com. Also, we close out the show and hear comments on Monday's trade action as Farm and Ranch Media's Susan Littlefield joins us to share a conversation with Sam Hudson from Cornbelt Marketing on today's program.

Randy Koenen of Red River Farm Network and Randy Martinson of Martinson Ag Risk Management discuss the "breather" week in the days leading up to Easter on the Agweek Market Wrap. 

The agricultural land market is defying conventional wisdom. Despite economic headwinds and rising interest rates, farmland values are reaching unprecedented levels across the Midwest, with premium soils commanding exceptional prices at recent auctions.A Clay County farm recently sold near $9,000 per acre while Lamoure County land exceeded $7,000 per crop acre - both representing some of the strongest results ever seen in their respective markets. What's driving these remarkable numbers? The answer lies primarily in soil quality. Properties featuring loam-based soils continue attracting intense competition from both neighboring farmers and outside investors who recognize the long-term productivity such land offers.Tax planning has become increasingly critical for landowners contemplating a sale. Many current sellers purchased their land decades ago for a fraction of today's values, creating potential tax liabilities that require careful consideration. Proactive strategies like 1031 tax-deferred exchanges can help manage these implications effectively. Without proper planning, tax obligations can substantially reduce net proceeds from even the most successful auction.On the rental front, rates have generally maintained stability across the Northern Plains despite some downward pressure from current commodity prices. The pastureland rental market has been particularly strong, supported by healthy cattle prices and continued demand for quality grazing opportunities. This rental stability further reinforces investor confidence in farmland as a reliable income-producing asset.Looking ahead to spring, an impressive lineup of equipment auctions features several notable retirement sales with exceptionally well-maintained machinery. These sales present valuable opportunities for producers looking to upgrade their operations without the premium costs of new equipment.Despite various challenges facing agriculture today, professionals remain cautiously optimistic about both land values and farming opportunities. Their advice: stay focused on operational excellence and long-term planning rather than becoming distracted by short-term market volatility or political noise. Those who approach the market with patience, prudence, and a commitment to quality management will likely continue to see farmland demonstrate its enduring value.Follow at www.americalandauctioneer.com and on Instagram & FacebookContact the team at Pifer's

Each year, the National Wheat Yield Contest, hosted by the National Wheat Foundation, attracts top growers from across the country to compete to grow the healthiest, and largest, wheat crop in the nation. The 2024 results are officially in, and farmers in the Pacific Northwest and the Northern Plains managed to bring home many of the top accolades, and though 2024 didn't quite offer record-setting conditions, some of the yields weren't too far behind all-time highs.But we're interested in more than just who the winners are– we want to know how they achieved their bin-busting results. Luckily, this week we're joined by DTN Crops Editor Jason Jenkins who's had the chance to connect with the four overall winners in the irrigated and dryland winter wheat and irrigated and dryland spring wheat classes. He'll give us the inside scoop on the growers and to which practices, products, and conditions they attribute their success. We'll also talk about the newer quality aspects of the competition, and how winning wheat is processed and evaluated for food quality attributes. We'll also talk about a new contest category that allows growers to submit digital yield results, a category that contest organizers are planning to expand in 2025. Then, Jason will look ahead to current conditions and the 2025 wheat crop, and offer insight on other stories he's following in the meantime.

Wheat had another lower day while soybeans and corn reversed off the lows to finish quietly higher. Meantime, livestock trade was lower into the weekend as traders gear up for Monday's USDA data dump and more. Bryan Doherty from Total Farm Marketing joins us to close out the week in the markets. More at www.totalfarmmarketing.com. Also, Friday was a rough day in the stock market while the ag complex was mostly mixed heading into the weekend. We discuss stocks, cattle, the grain complex heading into next week's USDA reports and much more with Tommy Grisafi from Nesvick Trading and Ag Bull Media. Contact Tommy and fine more at https://www.agbull.com. And we kick off the show with some agronomic tips and advice ahead of spring planting in the Northern Plains with Ryan Peterson from WinField United in Segment One.

The heartbeat of southwest North Dakota pulses through the iconic white grain elevators of the Scranton Equity Exchange. For 110 years, this cooperative has adapted, evolved, and expanded to remain the cornerstone of its community—a testament to rural resilience in an ever-changing agricultural landscape.General Manager Ben Hetzel takes us behind the scenes of this remarkable operation that stretches far beyond a typical grain elevator. From its robust feed plant that once defined the company to its modern grocery store, C-stores, lumber yard, and truck shop, the Scranton Equity embodies the diverse needs of the communities it serves. What truly sets this cooperative apart is its forward-thinking approach to agricultural services, especially evident in its recently completed 24,000-ton fertilizer storage facility.The fertilizer plant represents a quantum leap from the days of 50-pound bags of Elephant Brand fertilizer unloaded manually from rail cars. Today's automated system allows for precision blending in seconds, delivering higher quality products with greater efficiency. This forward-thinking investment allows the cooperative to ship fertilizer as far as the Canadian border and deep into Montana, turning Scranton into a hub for agricultural inputs across the Northern Plains.Looking ahead, the horizon of Scranton is set to change again with plans for a new slip elevator and additional dump pits designed to improve traffic flow and accommodate the increasingly diverse crop mix grown in southwest North Dakota. From traditional wheat and durum to newer crops like corn, canola, and pulses, the cooperative continues to evolve with its producer-members.What makes the story of Scranton Equity particularly compelling is how it balances technological advancement with community service—maintaining vital services like its beloved bakery and meat department while investing in cutting-edge agricultural technology. It's a formula that has sustained this cooperative for over a century and positions it for generations to come. Discover how rural businesses can thrive by embracing change while honoring their community roots.Follow at www.americalandauctioneer.com and on Instagram & FacebookContact the team at Pifer's

Rounding Up Season 3 | Episode 7 – Number Sense Guest: Dr. James Brickwedde Mike Wallus: Carry the 1, add a 0, cross multiply. All of these are phrases that educators heard when they were growing up. This language is so ingrained we often use it without even thinking. But what's the long-term impact of language like this on our students' number sense? Today we're talking with Dr. James Brickwedde about the impact of language and the ways educators can use it to cultivate their students' number sense.  Welcome to the podcast, James. I'm excited to be talking with you today. James Brickwedde: Glad to be here. Mike: Well, I want to start with something that you said as we were preparing for this podcast. You described how an educator's language can play a critical role in helping students think in value rather than digits. And I'm wondering if you can start by explaining what you mean when you say that. James: Well, thinking first of primary students, so kindergarten, second grade, that age bracket; kindergartners, in particular, come to school thinking that numbers are just piles of 1s. They're trying to figure out the standard order. They're trying to figure out cardinality. There are a lot of those initial counting principles that lead to strong number sense that they are trying to integrate neurologically. And so, one of the goals of kindergarten, first grade and above is to build the solid quantity sense—number sense—of how one number is relative to the next number in terms of its size, magnitude, et cetera. And then as you get beyond 10 and you start dealing with the place value components that are inherent behind our multidigit numbers, it's important for teachers to really think carefully of the language that they're using so that, neurologically, students are connecting the value that goes with the quantities that they're after. So, helping the brain to understand that 23 can be thought of not only as that pile of 1s, but I can decompose it into a pile of 20 1s and three 1s and eventually that 20 can be organized into two groups of 10. And so, using manipulatives, tracking your language so that when somebody asks, “How do I write 23?” it's not a 2 and a 3 that you put together, which is what a lot of young children think is happening. But rather, they realize that there's the 20 and the 3. Mike: So, you're making me think about the words in the number sequence that we use to describe quantities. And I wonder about the types of tasks or the language that can help children build a meaningful understanding of whole numbers, like say, 11 or 23. James: The English language is not as kind to our learners ( laughs ) as other languages around the world are when it comes to multidigit numbers. We have in English 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. And when we get beyond 10, we have this unique word called “eleven” and another unique word called “twelve.” And so, they really are words capturing collections of 1s really then capturing any sort of 10s in 1s relationship. There's been a lot of wonderful documentation around the Chinese-based languages. So, that would be Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Hmong follows the similar language patterns where when they get after 10, it literally translates as ten 1, ten 2. When they get to 20, it's two ten, two ten 1, two ten 2. And so, the place-value language is inherent in the words that they are saying to describe the quantities. The teen numbers, when you get to 13, a lot of young children try to write 13 as three 1 because they're trying to follow the language patterns of other numbers where you start left to right. And so, they're bringing meaning to something, which of course is not the social convention. So, the teens are all screwed up in terms of English. Spanish does begin to do some regularizing when they get to 16 because of the name diez y seis, so ten 6. But prior to that you have, again, sort of more unique names that either don't follow the order of how you write the number or they're unique like 11 and 12 is. Somali is another interesting language in that—and I apologize to anybody who is fluent in that language because I'm hoping I'm going to articulate it correctly—I believe that there, when they get into the teens, it's one and 10, two and 10, is the literal translation. So, while it may not be the ten 1 sort of order, it still is giving that the fact that there's ten-ness there as you go. So, for the classrooms that I have been in and out of both as my own classroom years ago as well as the ones I still go in and out of now, I try to encourage teachers to tap the language assets that are among their students so that they can use them to think about the English numbers, the English language, that can help them wire that brain so that the various representations, the manipulatives, expanded notation cards or dice, the numbers that I write, how I break the numbers apart, say that 23 is equal to 20 plus 3. All of those models that you're using, and the language that you use to back it up with, is consistent so that, neurologically, those pathways are deeply organized.  Piaget, in his learning theory, talks about young children—this is sort of the 10 years and younger—can only really think about one attribute at a time. So that if you start operating on multidigit numbers, and I'm using digitized language, I'm asking that, kindergartner first, second-grader, to think of two things at the same time. I'm say, moving a 1 while I also mean 10. What you find, therefore, is when I start scratching the surface of kids who were really procedural-bound, that they really are not reflecting on the values of how they've decomposed the numbers or are reconfiguring the numbers. They're just doing digit manipulation. They may be getting a correct answer, they may be very fast with it, but they've lost track of what values they're tracking. There's been a lot of research on kids' development of multidigit operations, and it's inherent in that research about students following … the students who are more fluid with it talk in values rather than in digits. And that's the piece that has always caught my attention as a teacher and helped transform how I talked with kids with it. And now as a professional development supporter of teachers, I'm trying to encourage them to incorporate in their practice. Mike: So, I want to hang on to this theme that we're starting to talk about. I'm thinking a lot about the very digit-based language that as a child I learned for adding and subtracting multidigit numbers. So, phrases like carry the 1 or borrow something from the 6. Those were really commonplace. And in many ways, they were tied to this standard algorithm, where a number was stacked on top of another number. And they really obscured the meaning of addition and subtraction. I wonder if we can walk through what it might sound like or what other models might draw out … some of the value-based language that we want to model for kids and also that we want kids to eventually adopt when they're operating on numbers. James: A task that I give adults, whether they are parents that I'm out doing a family math night with or my teacher candidates that I have worked with, I have them just build 54 and 38, say, with base 10 blocks. And then I say, “How would you quickly add them?” And invariably everybody grabs the tens before they move to the ones. Now your upbringing, my upbringing is the same and still in many classrooms, students are directed only to start with the ones place. And if you get a new 10, you have to borrow and you have to do all of this exchange kinds of things.  But the research shows when school gets out of the way ( chuckles ) and students and adults are operating on more of their natural number sense, people start with the larger and then move to the smaller. And this has been found around the world. This is not just unique to us classrooms that have been working this way. If in the standard algorithms—which really grew out of accounting procedures that needed to save space in ledger books out of the 18th, 19th centuries—they are efficient, space-saving means to be able to accurately compute. But in today's world, technology takes over a lot of that bookkeeping type of thing. An analogy I like to make is, in today's world, Bob Cratchit out of the Christmas Carol, Charles Dickens' character, doesn't have a job because technology has taken over everything that he was in charge of. So, in order for Bob Cratchit to have a job ( laughs ), he does need to know how to compute. But he really needs to think in values.  So, what I try to encourage educators to loosen up their practice is to say, “If I'm adding 54 plus 38, so if you keep those two numbers in your mind ( chuckles ), if I start with the ones and I add 4 and 8, I can get 12. There's no reason if I'm working in a vertical format to not put 12 fully under the line down below, particularly when kids are first learning how to add. But then language-wise, when they go to the tens place, they're adding 50 and 30 to get 80, and the 80 goes under the 12.” Now, many teachers will know that's partial sums. That's not the standard algorithm. That is the standard algorithm. The difference between the shortcut of carrying digits is only a space-saving version of partial sums. Once you go to partial sums in a formatting piece, and you're having kids watch their language, and that's a phrase I use constantly in my classrooms. It's not a 5 and 3 that you are working with, it's a 50 and a 30. So when you move to the language of value, you allow kids to initially, at least, get well-grounded in the partial sums formatting of their work, the algebra of the connectivity property pops out, the number sense of how I am building the quantities, how I'm adding another 10 to the 80, and then the 2, all of that begins to more fully fall into place. There are some of the longitudinal studies that have come out that students who were using more of the partial sums approach for addition, their place value knowledge fell into place sooner than the students who only did the standard algorithm and used the digitized language. So, I don't mind if a student starts in the one's place, but I want them to watch their language. So, if they're going to put down a 2, they're not carrying a 1—because I'll challenge them on that—is “What did you do to the 12 to just isolate the 2? What's left? Oh, you have a 10 up there and the 10 plus the 50 plus the 30 gives me 90.” So, the internal script that they are verbalizing is different than the internal digitized script that you and I and many students still learn today in classrooms around the country. So, that's where the language and the values and the number sense all begin to gel together. And when you get to subtraction, there's a whole other set of language things. So, when I taught first grade and a student would say, “Well, you can't take 8 from 4,” if I still use that 54 and 38 numbers as a reference here. My challenge to them is who said?  Now, my students are in Minnesota. So, Minnesota is at a cultural advantage of knowing what happens in wintertime when temperatures drop below zero ( laughs ). And so, I usually have as a representation model in my room, a number line that swept around the edges of the room that started from negative 35 and went to 185. And so, there are kids who've been puzzling about those other numbers on the other side of zero. And so, somebody pops up and says, “Well, you'll get a negative number.” “What do you mean?” And then they whip around and start pointing at that number line and being able to say, “Well, if you're at 4 and you count back 8, you'll be at negative 4.” So, I am not expecting first-graders to be able to master the idea of negative integers, but I want them to know the door is open. And there are some students in late first grade and certainly in second grade who start using partial differences where they begin to consciously use with the idea of negative integers.  However, there [are] other students, given that same scenario, who think going into the negative numbers is too much of the twilight zone ( laughs ). They'll say, “Well, I have 4 and I need 8. I don't have enough to take 8 from 4.” And another phrase I ask them is, “Well, what are you short?” And that actually brings us back to the accounting reference point of sort of debit-credit language of, “I'm short 4.” “Well, if you're short 4, well just write minus-4.” But if they already have subtracted 30 from 50 and have 20, then the question becomes, “Where are you going to get that 4 from?” “Well, you have 20 cookies sitting on that plate there. I'm going to get that 4 out of the 20.” So again, the language around some of these strategies in subtractions shifts kids to think with alternative strategies and algorithms compared to the American standard algorithm that predominates U.S. education. Mike: I think what's interesting about what you just said, too, is you're making me think about an article. I believe it was Rules That Expire. And what strikes me is that this whole notion that you can't take 8 away from 4 is actually a rule that expires once kids do begin to work in integers. And what you're suggesting about subtraction is, “Let's not do that. Let's use language to help them make meaning of, “Well, what if?” As a former Minnesotan, I can definitely validate that when it's 4 degrees outside and the temperature drops 8 degrees, kids can look at a thermometer and that context helps them understand. I suppose if you're a person listening to this in Southern California or Arizona, that might feel a little bit odd. But I would say that I have seen first-graders do the same thing. James: And if you are more international travelers, as soon as say, people in southern California or southern Arizona step across into Mexico, everything is in Celsius. If those of us in the Northern Plains go into Canada, everything is in Celsius. And so, you see negative numbers sooner ( laughs ) than we do in Fahrenheit, but that's another story. Mike: This is a place where I want to talk a little bit about multiplication, particularly this idea of multiplying by 10. Because I personally learned a fairly procedural understanding of what it is to multiply by 10 or a hundred or a thousand. And the language of “add a zero” was the language that was my internal script. And for a long time when I was teaching, that was the language that I passed along. You're making me wonder how we could actually help kids build a more meaningful understanding of multiplying by 10 or multiplying by powers of 10. James: I have spent a lot of time with my own research as well as working with teachers about what is practical in the classroom, in terms of their approach to this. First of all, and I've alluded to this earlier, when you start talking in values, et cetera, and allow multiple strategies to emerge with students, the underlying algebraic properties, the properties of operations, begin to come to the surface. So, one of the properties is the zero property. What happens when you add a number to zero or a zero to a number? I'm now going to shift more towards a third-grade scenario here. When a student needs to multiply four groups of 30. “I want 34 times,” if you're using the time language. And they'd say, “Well, I know 3 times 4 is 12 and then I just add a zero.” And that's where I as a teacher reply, “Well, I thought 12 plus zero is still 12. How could you make it 120?” And they'd say, “Well, because I put it there.” So, I begin to try to create some cognitive dissonance ( laughs ) over what they're trying to describe, and I do stop and say this to kids: “I see that you recognize a pattern that's happening there, but I want us to explore, and I want you to describe why does that pattern work mathematically?”  So, with addition and subtraction, kids learn that they need to decompose the numbers to work on them more readily and efficiently. Same thing when it comes to multiplication. I have to decompose the numbers somehow. So if, for the moment, you come back to, “If you can visualize the numbers, four groups of 36.” Kids would say, “Well, yeah, I have to decompose the 36 into 30 plus 6.” But by them now exploring how to multiply four groups of 30 without being additive and just adding above, which is an early stage to it. But as they become more abstract and thinking more in multiples, I want them to explore the fact that they are decomposing the 30 into factors  Now, factors isn't necessarily a third-grade standard, right? But I want students to understand that that's how they are breaking that number apart. So, I'm left with 4 times 3 times 10. And if they've explored, in this case the associate of property of multiplication, “Oh, I did that. So, I want to do 4 times 3 because that's easy. I know that. But now I have 12 times 10.” And how can you justify what 12 times 10 is? And that's where students who are starting to move in this place quickly say, “Well, I know 10 tens are 100 and two tens are 20, so it's 120.” They can explain it. The explanation sometimes comes longer than the fact that they are able to calculate it in their heads, but the pathway to understanding why it should be in the hundreds is because I have a 10 times a 10 there. So that when the numbers now begin to increase to a double digit times a double digit. So, now let's make it 42 groups of 36. And I now am faced with, first of all, estimating how large might my number be? If I've gotten students grounded in being able to pull out the factors of 10, I know that I have a double digit times a double digit, I have a factor of 10, a factor of 10. My answer's going to be in the hundreds. How high in the hundreds? In this case with the 42 and 36, 1,200. Because if I grab the largest partial product, then I know my answer is at least above 1,200 or one thousand two hundred. Again, this is a language issue. It's breaking things into factors of 10 so that the powers of 10 are operated on.  So that when I get deeper into fourth grade, and it's a two digit times a three digit, I know that I'm going to have a 10 times a hundred. So, my answer's at least going to be up in the thousands. I can grab that information and use it both from an estimation point of view, but also strategically to multiply the first partial product or however you are decomposing the number. Because you don't have to always break everything down into their place value components. That's another story and requires a visual ( laughs ) work to explain that. But going back to your question, the “add the zero,” or as I have heard, some teachers say, “Just append the zero,” they think that that's going to solve the mathematical issue. No, that doesn't. That's still masking why the pattern works. So, bringing students back to the factors of 10 anchors them into why a number should be in the hundreds or in the thousands. Mike: What occurs to me is what started as a conversation where we were talking about the importance of speaking in value really revealed the extent to which speaking in value creates an opportunity for kids to really engage with some of the properties and the big ideas that are going to be critical for them when they get to middle school and high school. And they're really thinking algebraically as opposed to just about arithmetic. James: Yes. And one of the ways I try to empower elementary teachers is to begin to look at elementary arithmetic through the lens of algebra rather than the strict accounting procedures that sort of emerge. Yes, the accounting procedures are useful. They can be efficient. I can come to use them. But if I've got the algebraic foundation underneath it, when I get to middle school, it is my foundation allows for generative growth rather than a house of cards that collapses, and I become frustrated. And where we see the national data in middle school, there tends to be a real separation between who are able to go on and who gets stuck. Because as you mentioned before the article that the Rules That Expire, too many of them expire when you have to start thinking in rates, ratios, proportionality, et cetera. Mike: So, for those of you who are listening who want to follow along, we do have a visual aid that's attached to the show notes that has the mathematics that James is talking about. I think that's a great place to stop.  Thank you so much for joining us, James, it has really been a pleasure talking with you. James: Well, thanks a lot, Mike. It was great talking to you as well.  Mike: This podcast is brought to you by The Math Learning Center and the Maier Math Foundation, dedicated to inspiring and enabling all individuals to discover and develop their mathematical confidence and ability. © 2024 The Math Learning Center | www.mathlearningcenter.org 

Between avoiding snakebites and fending off the dreaded dysentery, fans of the popular game “The Oregon Trail” are sure to be familiar with Fort Laramie. Situated roughly a quarter of the way through the historic trek from Independence, Missouri to the Willamette Valley in modern-day Oregon, the Fort began as a fur trading post, served as a critical juncture for emigrants heading west, and eventually became one of the largest military posts on the Northern Plains. Before its abandonment in 1890, Fort Laramie would also bear witness to sweeping expansion and the heated negotiations between American Indians and the United States Government that would ultimately define the American West.   Hosted by Jason Epperson Written by Lizzie Tesch Use code PARKS30 for $30 off of a $500 or more booking at www.rvshare.com.

On this episode of American Ag Today, we get an update on spring wheat harvest across the Northern Plains. Justin Berg, Technical Product Manager for West Bred, joins us to discuss.

Grain markets were super quiet on the day Tuesday with a lack of fresh news to drive the trade while livestock had a solid day higher and the outside markets were mixed. We take a look at whether or not the "funds" are moving to the sidelines or into commodities and discuss the overall market picture with Jim McCormick from AgMarket.net on today's show. More at https://www.agmarket.net. Also, in Segment Four of today's show, we get an update on spring wheat harvest in the Northern Plains as we near the finish line. Justin Berg, Technical Product Manager for WestBred joins us for a conversation. Learn more at https://www.westbred.com.

Soybeans gave back all of Monday's gains (and then some) on Tuesday as we found pressure across the soy complex while wheat was moderately higher and corn was stuck in between the two. The cattle market was a bit of a head scratcher on Tuesday and crude oil hit 16 month lows at one point during the day. We talk market action, harvest progress and prospects in the Northern Plains and more on today's show with Tyler Schau from AgMarket.net. Learn more online at https://www.agmarket.net.

Potentially catastrophic flooding associated with Tropical Storm Debbyto impact portions of South and North Carolina......Increased flash flood potential for portions of the Desert Southwestand northern Mid-Atlantic this evening and Wednesday......Excessive heat for the Southern Plains to the central Gulf Coastthrough Thursday while the Northern Plains...Tropical Storm Debby is expected to track very slowly northward from itsTuesday afternoon position near the southern South Carolina coast throughThursday night, after briefly moving back out over the western Atlanticocean tonight. The slow movement will continue to support areas of heavyrain which are going to fall over the central and eastern Carolinas overthe next 48 hours. Additional rainfall totals of 10-20 inches, withmaximum amounts of 25 inches, are expected which will likely result inareas of catastrophic flooding. Urban and areal flooding along with majorflooding of area rivers and streams are expected due to the excessiverunoff of heavy rain. In addition, Debby will bring a threat for tornadoesto coastal sections of the Carolinas through tomorrow, spreading northwardinto southeastern Virginia for Thursday. For additional information onDebby, please visit hurricanes.gov.Farther north into the norther Mid-Atlantic region, deep moisture relatedto Debby along with a slow moving cold front and favorable wind shearaloft will support the generation of thunderstorms through tonight fromportions of eastern Ohio into the New York City metro region. Thesethunderstorms will be capable of severe winds and a couple of tornadoesalong with areas of flash flooding. While the threat for severethunderstorms looks diminished on Wednesday for the northern Mid-Atlanticregion, an increased potential for flash flooding will remain fromsouthern New Jersey into eastern Maryland and the remaining DelmarvaPeninsula.

Hurricane Debby is hammering Florida and the southeast with heavy rains to start this week while we also watch storms in the Northern Plains and parts of the Midwest. Eric Snodgrass with Nutrien Ag Solutions joins us to discuss the weather outlook for this week and beyond. More at https://www.ag-wx.com. Also, the grain and oilseed markets have been stuck in this bearish downtrend for awhile now and the overall ag economy picture is looking a little rough. Steve Nicholson, Global Sector Strategist for Grains & Oilseeds with Rabobank, joins us for a wide-ranging conversation. And we also talk conservation, soil health, adding humates to your soil and more with Russell Taylor, VP of Live Earth. You can learn more online at https://www.livearth.com.

Soybeans led the way to start the week, soaring higher amid a round of weather risk related short covering. Corn and spring wheat also had a solid day higher with Chicago and KC wheat up slightly.

Hello, I'm Paul LaRouche. Thank you for joining us this week on Hidden Heritage. This episode takes you back 500 years to the arrival of Europeans in America, the Great Westward Expansion, and finally, the closing of the frontier on the Northern Plains. Meet Lakota elder Jerome Kills Small. Jerome shares his rich heritage and upbringing within the Pine Ridge Oglala Nation. Raised by elders who lived through significant historical events, Jerome offers a vivid recount of their stories, traditions, and resilience. Listen as Jerome describes his early years speaking only Lakota, the secret ceremonies his elders held, and the impact of their teachings on his life. He reflects on the hardships faced during the Great Depression and World Wars, and how these experiences shaped their calm and generous nature. Jerome's journey of rediscovery through storytelling and song brings to light the importance of cultural preservation and the power of community. He emphasizes the need for truth and spirit in our modern communication systems, inspiring a deeper connection to our heritage. Join us for a heartfelt visit with the elders of the Northern Plains, and immerse yourself in the timeless wisdom and enduring spirit of their stories.

For weeks, the judges have been threatening to send home not one — but two chefs — if circumstances demand it. This week, they did just that when they sent a quarter of the remaining field packing in a challenge that highlights the indigenous cuisine of the Northern Plains. Tom and Kevin note that Kristen is bored stiff by Manny's generally successful (but tiresome) formula in the kitchen, and celebrate Savannah and Dan for a master class on how to endear yourself to the judges by “embracing the challenge.” Subscribe to the new PYK Substack! https://www.packyourknives.com/ Rate PYK 5 Stars on Apple or Spotify Follow PYK on Twitter: @packknives & Instagram: @packyourknives COUNT THE DINGS MERCH STORE - Check it out here: https://bit.ly/CTDMERCH Learn more about your ad choices.
