Wheat extended its rally Thursday while corn cooled slightly after a big August run. Bryan Doherty, Senior Market Advisor at Total Farm Marketing, joins Market Talk to break down what's driving the grain complex, walks through long ratio call and put spread strategies, and shares his read on cattle, hogs, and dairy amid beef import plan uncertainty. Find more online at https://www.totalfarmmarketing.com.Also on today's show: specialty buying, short covering and some bargain hunting are adding another layer to this week's cattle trade. But the big surprise came in the cash market, as the North blinked first while the South continues to hold out. On this week's Cattle Chatter, Brad Kooima with Kooima Kooima Varilek breaks down why it was so unusual to see Northern cattle trade ahead of the Southern market and what that could mean for cattle producers. Brad also looks at plant closures, including Joslin, and how changes in processing capacity can work their way back into the cash cattle market. We also take a look at the border reopening this week, comparing cattle and futures prices from May 11, 2025, with where the market stands this week.
Corn posted new contract highs this week on its continued rally and Bryan Doherty, Senior Market Advisor at Total Farm Marketing, joins Market Talk to break down what's driving it. Bryan walks through tightening carryout numbers following a disappointing Pro Farmer Crop Tour showing in Illinois, why end users haven't fully chased the market yet, and how Black Sea shipping uncertainty is putting a floor under the wheat complex. He also continues our series on futures and options strategies discussing a fence strategy, then wraps with an update on the cattle and dairy markets ahead of Friday's Cattle on Feed report. Also on today's show, are we not killing enough cattle—and are producers starting to lose their leverage? On this week's Cattle Chatter, Brad Kooima with Kooima Kooima Varilek breaks down a cattle market full of moving pieces. Tyson plants are going offline, Ft. Morgan is coming back online, and boxed beef is showing some movement. Meanwhile, the charts have been a wreck, the cash market is trying to firm, and Kansas has now joined Colorado and Texas in going "confidential" on USDA cash cattle reporting, citing thin trading volume.
Corn carryout is narrowing on both old crop and new crop and the resulting stocks-to-use figure is the tightest in four years. Bryan Doherty, Senior Market Advisor at Total Farm Marketing, joins Market Talk the day after the August WASDE to break down a 180.7 bushel national corn yield, the wide gap between the I-states and a drought-stressed western Corn Belt, and why he thinks 2027 sets up as a must-have crop year. Bryan also continues our lesson series built on Total Farm Marketing's special report, 12 Option Strategies for an Uncertain World, walking through the bull call spread and the bear put spread and when each one fits a producer's marketing plan. On this week's Cattle Chatter, brought to you by Zoetis, Brad Kooima with Kooima Kooima Varilek breaks down the latest slaughter numbers while looking at the impact of extreme heat, dry pastures and an uptick in video cattle sales. Was last week's cash cattle trade actually cattle purchased for deferred delivery? As Labor Day approaches, the focus turns to beef demand and boxed beef movement. How does the market get the boxes turned, and what will it take to keep product moving as we look beyond the holiday and into the fall? We also begin the program today with market analysis and perspective from Sue Martin with Ag & Investments in Clarion, IA during Segment One of Thursday's show.
***NOTE: markets are closed on Friday for Juneteenth. We will be back with a new program on Monday.

Enterprise Ireland is leading a 20-strong delegation of high-growth Irish technology companies to Slush 2025, Europe's premier start-up and venture capital event. Slush, widely regarded as the largest gathering of venture capital under one roof, is a key platform for Irish start-ups seeking to accelerate their expansion and secure investment. The Nordics have emerged as Enterprise Ireland's fastest-growing export region for Enterprise Ireland supported companies, with client exports reaching €2.1 billion in 2024, up 24% on 2023. Finland is leading the charge as its most dynamic market. Against this backdrop, Irish innovators are leveraging Slush to deepen commercial ties and showcase cutting-edge technologies across AI, fintech, and sustainability. With Nordic markets driving export growth and Finland emerging as a hub for tech collaboration, Enterprise Ireland's presence at Slush underscores Ireland's ambition to position its start-ups at the forefront of European innovation. Momentum in Irish Tech Investment Ireland's start-up ecosystem continues to attract global attention, underscored by strong investment flows and landmark deals. Earlier this year, Tines, the AI-powered work automation platform, became Ireland's latest unicorn following a $125 million Series C round. This success story exemplifies the ambition of Irish companies attending Slush, many of which are scaling internationally and forging strategic partnerships in the Nordics. As part of the Slush programme of events, Enterprise Ireland will host an Irish Innovation event, featuring a fireside chat with George Ardagh of Tines as well as Enterprise Ireland Head of Scaling Finance Karole Egan and leading voices from global finance.

Grain markets were quietly lower on Thursday, seemingly waiting on the next headline to move the markets. Could that be something from Friday's expected President Trump/President Xi conversation? Could it be more concrete yield results from harvest? We take a look at this week's trade and get perspective from Bryan Doherty, Senior Market Advisor at Total Farm Marketing. More online at https://www.totalfarmmarketing.com. Also, the roller coaster ride in the cattle market carried over into Thursday's trade, as volatility remained the theme. On this week's Cattle Chatter with Brad Kooima of Kooima Kooima Varilek we assess the chart damage from last week's selloff, which left the market searching for support. One factor in play is the regional difference in supply. The South continues to show larger cattle numbers, while the North is running tighter, yet more cattle are being moved south to fill pens. At the same time, carcass weights are edging higher, adding additional tonnage to overall supplies. On the technical side, analysts are keeping a close eye on the 20- and 40-day moving averages. Those levels will be key in determining whether the market can stabilize or if more downside pressure is ahead. For now, the tone remains cautious as traders weigh both fundamentals and technical signals.
