06 15 26 Soybean Cyst Nematodes by Ag PhD
Brad discusses what he learned about high oleic soybeans at the Four State Dairy Management and Nutrition Conference in La Crosse, Wisconsin. High oleic soybeans are gaining attention in dairy nutrition because they can provide both rumen undegradable protein and a more rumen-friendly fat source, potentially reducing the need for purchased protein and fat supplements.The episode covers how high oleic beans differ from conventional soybeans, why roasting quality matters, and how measures like protein dispersibility index help determine whether beans are under- or over-processed. Brad also reviews feeding rates, farm case studies showing milk fat and energy-corrected milk responses, possible cost savings, and the pros and cons of adopting high oleic beans on dairy farms.Overall, high oleic soybeans are not a silver bullet, but they may offer dairy producers another tool for improving ration economics, milk components, and on-farm feed production when managed carefully.Questions, comments, scathing rebuttals? -> themoosroom@umn.edu or call 612-624-3610 and leave us a message!Linkedin -> The Moos RoomTwitter -> @UMNmoosroom and @UMNFarmSafetyFacebook -> @UMNDairyYouTube -> UMN Beef and Dairy and UMN Farm Safety and HealthInstagram -> @UMNWCROCDairyExtension WebsiteAgriAmerica Podcast Directory
The June 15, 2026, edition of the Closing Market Report covers recent agricultural commodity market trends, global supply estimates, and international weather forecasts. Curt Kimmel of AgMarket.net notes that agricultural markets are currently stabilizing, with the recent Iran war settlement expected to reduce transportation and energy costs, thereby boosting investor confidence and global grain demand. Agricultural economist Ben Brown discusses the bearish impact of the latest World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) report, which revealed a 14 million metric ton increase in global corn production, largely driven by India. Brown also highlights strong domestic soybean crush demand and notes that global wheat production increases are currently overshadowing tightening U.S. supplies. Furthermore, Brown emphasizes the strong correlation between energy and grain prices while warning of potential agricultural trade disruptions if the USMCA agreement is not extended. Finally, Mark Russo of EverStream Analytics forecasts another round of severe storms and heavy rainfall for the U.S. Corn Belt before shifting to a drier pattern, while simultaneously warning of a prolonged heat wave and declining soil moisture threatening crops in Western Europe, particularly in France.- Ag Markets with Curt Kimmel, AgMarket.net- Commodity Markets Discussion with Ben Brown- Ag Weather with Mark Russo, EverStream.ai ★ Support this podcast ★

The June 12, 2026, Closing Market Report covers recent developments in agricultural markets, regional corporate investments, and long-term weather forecasts. Market analyst Mike Zuzolo notes that wheat and corn surprisingly closed higher despite a bearish USDA WASDE report that lowered the season's average cash price for wheat by 50 cents. Zuzolo attributes underlying market support to strong domestic ethanol and export demand, though he warns that soybeans face downward pressure from competitive South American crops if corn and wheat fail to establish a bottom. In state news, the USDA outlined disaster recovery resources for Illinois farmers recovering from recent tornadoes, and Rural King announced a $75 million investment in a new headquarters in Mattoon, Illinois, which is projected to create 100 local jobs. The broadcast also highlighted an upcoming University of Illinois Extension field day focused on nutrient management. Concluding with an agricultural weather forecast, Eric Snodgrass reports that recent heavy Midwestern rains have restored critical soil moisture, thereby reducing the risk of severe heat in July. Furthermore, Snodgrass highlights NOAA's confirmation of a strong El Nino pattern, which is anticipated to produce a milder, wetter fall and winter that could complicate upcoming harvest and fieldwork schedules.- Ag Markets with Mike Zuzolo, GlobalCommResearch.com- WILLAg News Update for June 12, 2026- Ag Weather with Eric Snodgrass, NutrienAgSolutions.com ★ Support this podcast ★

The June 11, 2026 edition of Commodity Week, hosted by Todd Gleason, evaluated the contrasting environmental and structural shifts altering the global agricultural landscape. Ellen Dearden highlighted severe weather disparities across the US Midwest, where central Illinois recently faced excessive rain and wind damage, while portions of South Dakota and Nebraska continue to suffer from severe drought and expanding wildfires. Ted Seifried analyzed the subtle domestic demand adjustments and global production updates in the June USDA WASDE report, noting that while US ending stocks remained relatively flat, surprise production increases for corn crops in Brazil and Argentina present long-term competitive threats to US exports.The panelists further scrutinized fund flows and international demand dynamics, emphasizing that the recent market slide is heavily driven by index funds liquidating historic long positions as previous alternative energy and fertilizer supply narratives lose momentum. This speculative exit coincides with stagnant buying activity from China, which continues to meet its immediate processing needs through cheaper, high-volume South American soybean supplies rather than turning to the US. Consequently, Matt Darragh projected that the US may only realize about half of the USDA's targeted 25 million metric ton export volume to China for the 2026–2027 marketing year, reflecting the global pricing edge and storage advantages held by Brazil and Argentina. Additionally, the panel briefly addressed the risk of the New World screwworm, noting that its spread is primarily a hazard tied to livestock transportation patterns rather than simple fly migration.On the global front, Darragh shared insights from Kpler regarding the softening wheat and fertilizer sectors. Global wheat contracts continue to face downward pressure from high carryover stocks and intense export competition out of Russia, Ukraine, and Europe, though looming El Niño conditions could severely penalize Australian crop yields later in the season. Meanwhile, critical supply chain vulnerabilities persist in the fertilizer sector, where 37 vessels laden with roughly 2 million tons of fertilizer products remain bottlenecked in the Middle East Gulf near the Strait of Hormuz. While down from a peak of 50 vessels in May, these ongoing logistical constraints and export limits from major producers threaten to trigger a delayed, severe impact on global crop production extending into the 2027–2028 marketing year.Panelists- Matt Darragh, Kpler - Birmingham, UK- Ellen Dearden, AgReview - Morton, IL- Ted Seifried, Zaner Ag Hedge - Chicago, IL ★ Support this podcast ★
USDA REPORT DAYThe June 11, 2026, Closing Market Report covers updates on agricultural commodity markets, upcoming extension events, agronomic research, and global weather patterns. Jim McCormick of AgMarket.net noted that the USDA's June WASDE report introduced largely bearish global supply revisions for corn, wheat, and soybeans, contributing to lower market closing prices across the board. In agronomic news, Travis Meteer previewed the June 17 Dudley Smith Farm field day, an event connecting beef and row crop producers with University of Illinois researchers to discuss nutrients, water quality, and fertility management. Additionally, agricultural economist Gary Schnitkey highlighted findings from 11 years of Precision Conservation Management data, showing that utilizing no-till or one-pass light tillage systems—alongside maintaining nitrogen rates near the Maximum Return to Nitrogen limit—consistently provides the highest profitability for farmers. Finally, Mike Tannura of T-storm Weather reported that recent intense storms have sufficiently moistened the U.S. Corn and spring wheat belts, while looking abroad, a severe heat wave is expected to negatively impact crops in France, Italy, and Spain next week.- Ag Markets with Jim McCormick, AgMarket.net- June 17 Dudley Smith Farm Field Day Preview- farmdoc Webinar Explores Tillage & Nitrogen Practices- Ag Weather with Mike Tannura, Tstorm.net ★ Support this podcast ★

The June 10th Closing Market Report covers agricultural market trends, crop disease management tools, and global weather impacts. Susan Stroud of NoBullAg.com notes that U.S. corn and soybean markets are facing downward pressure due to favorable June weather conditions, absent Chinese demand, and record South American crop yields, though biofuel tax credits provide some structural market support. University of Illinois plant pathologist Boris Camiletti highlights the Crop Protection Network, a collaborative online platform that equips farmers with predictive disease tracking and return-on-investment calculators to optimize fungicide applications for crops like corn and soybeans. Finally, meteorologist Drew Lerner details ongoing agricultural weather risks, emphasizing that heavy, out-of-season rains threaten Brazil's safrinha crop harvest, while frequent showers and cooler temperatures in the U.S. pose quality risks to the winter wheat harvest and exacerbate localized flooding in the Corn Belt.- Ag Markets with Susan Stroud, NoBullAg.com- The Crop Protection Network with Boris Camiletti- Ag Weather with Drew Lerner ★ Support this podcast ★

The Closing Market Report from June 9, 2026, details a recent sell-off in commodity markets, with corn, soybean, and wheat prices returning to January lows due to the current absence of a weather premium. The upcoming WASDE report is expected to reflect strong export sales and potential adjustments to old crop carryouts, while technical support levels suggest potential short-term recovery bounces. In agricultural news, the Senate is developing legislation for year-round E15 sales to match a recently passed House bill, and the shipping company Maersk has successfully tested 100% ethanol as a bunker fuel in Rotterdam. Meanwhile, the Strategic Petroleum Reserve is projected to reach its lowest volume since the 1980s, and a Wisconsin farmland auction yielded nearly $22,000 per acre. Furthermore, the rapid expansion of large-scale data centers in the Midwest has prompted significant local and state regulatory pushback regarding energy and water consumption, leading to temporary development moratoriums and the proposed repeal of tax incentives in states such as Illinois and Michigan. Finally, the agricultural weather forecast predicts severe thunderstorms and heat across the northern plains and upper Midwest, which will shortly be followed by a transition to cooler, drier conditions driven by air masses from south-central Canada.- Ag Markets with Naomi Blohm, TotalFarmMarketing.com- WILLAg News Update for June 9, 2026- Lawmakers Rush to Regulate Data Center Development- Ag Weather with Don Day, DayWeather.com ★ Support this podcast ★

It's a massive Monday edition of What's On Your Mind as host Scott Hannon counts down to tomorrow's crucial 2026 primary election. Scott fires up the microphone to challenge the traditionally low voter turnout and provides a comprehensive breakdown of the key conservative candidates on the local ballot. State Representative Ben Koppelman drops by to discuss the growing legislative rift with Governor Armstrong over primary endorsements and unpacks a bold new structure to transform future party conventions. Scott also chats with Soybean Council leaders about navigating the trade cold shoulder from China, introduces the District 13 legislative incumbents, and sits down with outspoken Fargo School Board candidate Carissa Jeske. Plus, a deep-dive look into election integrity, a preview of North Dakota's Supreme Court race with Justice Jared Tufti, and a sharp critique of mainstream media "interrogations." Show Notes & Timestamps [00:00] – The 20% Embarrassment & The Governor's Primary Battle Scott kicks off the show with a direct plea to listeners, calling the region's typical 20% primary voter turnout "embarrassing." State Representative Ben Koppelman joins the studio to voice his disappointment with Governor Armstrong's unprecedented involvement in local legislative primaries. The duo debates whether the executive branch is stepping over the line or simply exercising free speech. [04:45] – Overhauling the Party System: Moving Conventions Post-Primary Representative Koppelman introduces a radical legislative idea for the next session: combining the traditional delegate convention system with the primary ballot. Koppelman explains how sealing primary votes and unveiling them at a late-June convention would eliminate party pettiness and incentivize a massive surge in local political engagement. [07:15] – Transparency and Dark Money in Political PACs The conversation turns to campaign finance reform. Koppelman calls out the flaws in current PAC disclosure rules that allow organizations to shield either their donors or their explicit spending trails, demanding total top-to-bottom financial transparency from all active political groups.

The number of confirmed cases of New World screwworm continues to climb in Texas. Soybean condition declined while corn held steady last week. A new study illustrates the relationship between USMCA and consumer food prices.
The June 8, 2026, edition of the Closing Market Report provides an assessment of agricultural commodities, upcoming USDA reports, and global weather impacts. Curt Kimmel of AgMarket.net highlights that a recent screwworm outbreak is causing market volatility, though long-term impacts depend on the disease's spread and its effect on available cattle supplies. Kimmel also anticipates minor adjustments in the upcoming WASDE report, projecting slight decreases in new crop corn ending stocks due to old crop demand, with soybeans and wheat remaining largely unchanged. Frayne Olson from North Dakota State University corroborates this subdued expectation for the June WASDE, noting the USDA is unlikely to revise export forecasts without concrete details from recent US-China trade agreements. Olson emphasizes the significance of the June 30th grain stocks report for tracking feed consumption and explains that recent market fluctuations are heavily influenced by index fund investors shifting capital between energy, agriculture, and the stabilizing stock market. Consequently, Olson advises producers to establish predetermined target prices rather than attempting to time volatile market swings. Finally, Everstream Analytics meteorologist Mark Russo reports that beneficial rainfall and above-average temperatures are accelerating crop development across the US Corn Belt, presenting no immediate yield threats. However, Russo warns that a returning, near-record heatwave combined with dry conditions in Western Europe poses a significant risk to their summer crops.- Ag Markets with Curt Kimmel, AgMarkets.net- Commodity Markets Discussion with Frayne Olson, NDSU Extension- Ag Weather with Mark Russo, EverStream.ai ★ Support this podcast ★

This episode of the Closing Market Report features analytical discussions on agricultural markets and regional weather conditions. Market analyst Mike Zuzolo evaluates the New World screwworm outbreak in Mexico, observing that the Mexican beef industry has successfully retooled its supply chain to export boxed beef rather than live feeder cattle. While this structural adjustment addresses immediate border transport constraints, Zuzolo cautions that sustained market stability relies heavily on consistent consumer demand. Additionally, he advises producers to secure fall diesel needs due to ongoing supply chain closures in the Strait of Hormuz. Meteorologist Eric Snodgrass then provides an agricultural weather outlook for the broader Corn Belt. He details a drought pattern that may be developing north of Interstate 72 in Illinois and across surrounding states, emphasizing that immediate rainfall (scheduled for today and over the next several days) is critical for current vegetative crop stages. Snodgrass further outlines predictive variables for mid-summer heat risks—specifically Delta soil moisture and Gulf of Alaska ocean temperatures—while explicitly dismissing a newly released European long-range model predicting a dry late summer due to its severe historical inaccuracies.- Ag Markets with Mike Zuzolo, GlobalCommResearch.com- Ag Weather with Eric Snodgrass, NutrienAgSolutions.com ★ Support this podcast ★

In the June 4 edition of Commodity Week, host Todd Gleason and panelists Logan Kimmel, Sherman Newlin, and Shane Holtorf analyze the recent, severe sell-offs across the agricultural grain markets. The discussion highlights a 12-day consecutive drop in wheat futures—exacerbated by fund liquidations and crude oil market trends—that consequently dragged down corn and soybean prices. While domestic crush capacity provides a baseline of support for soybeans, the panel emphasizes that renewed export demand from China is critical for a sustained price recovery. Looking ahead to the late June acreage report and the potential for summer weather volatility, the analysts caution producers against liquidating grain at current lows. Instead, they recommend establishing calculated, profitable price targets for both old and new crop inventory and keeping working orders actively placed with buyers to capture any sudden market bounces. Finally, the panel notes rising volatility in the livestock sector due to screwworm headlines, urging cattle and hog producers to aggressively manage their downside risk.Panelists- Logan Kimmel, Roach Ag- Sherman Newlin, Zaner Ag Hedge- Shane Holtorf, Logic Ag ★ Support this podcast ★

www.iasoybeans.com/Farm4Profit Through more than 200 on-farm trials each year, the Iowa Soybean Association is helping farmers make better decisions based on real-world conditions, not controlled plots. Their work spans everything from seeding rates to fungicide use to nitrogen efficiency, all with one goal: improving profitability and sustainability at the farm level. One of the biggest takeaways? Many farmers are planting more soybean seeds than they need. Research shows populations can often be reduced to around 110,000 seeds per acre without sacrificing yield, creating a clear opportunity to cut input costs in tight-margin years. Another major focus has been fungicide and insecticide applications. Despite common “program” approaches where these products are applied every season, multiple years of trials have shown that in the absence of disease pressure, these applications rarely pay. In fact, only about one in five blanket applications delivers a return, reinforcing the importance of scouting before making application decisions. The conversation also highlights how far crop genetics have come—reducing the need for routine treatments that may have made sense years ago but don't always deliver value today. On the corn side, nitrogen efficiency continues to stand out. Some of the most efficient operators are producing strong yields using as little as 0.6 pounds of nitrogen per bushel by leveraging practices like split applications and better timing. Trials are also exploring the value of stabilizers in spring-applied nitrogen, showing early signs that protecting that investment can make a difference. At its core, this episode reinforces a simple but powerful idea: farmers don't need more data—they need better data they can trust. And when that data comes directly from farms like theirs, it becomes a tool they can use with confidence. If you're looking for ways to trim costs, improve efficiency, and make smarter agronomic decisions, this is a conversation worth paying attention to. Want Farm4Profit Merch?

Equip Foods Protein (grass-fed beef isolate, no seed oils, third-party tested) Code: BENAZADI - https://bit.ly/49xXaMq Keto Flex Revised by Ben Azadi (pre-order now, releases July 21st, includes exclusive bonus chapters as a downloadable PDF): https://bit.ly/4wKG1sM In this episode, Ben Azadi reveals the five foods he eliminated that ended his chronic cravings and led to losing 19 pounds in 30 days. The root issue is not willpower. It's hormones and inflammation. A 2019 NIH study by Kevin Hall had participants eating ultra-processed vs. whole foods at matched calories. On the ultra-processed diet, they ate 500 extra calories per day without realizing it. The food was driving the overconsumption, not a lack of discipline. The five foods to remove: Liquid sugar. Sodas, juices, sports drinks, and flavored coffee drinks don't register as fullness. The Harvard Nurses' Health Study found adding one sugary drink per day led to 358 extra calories consumed daily. Swap for black coffee, plain tea, or sparkling water. Ultra-processed breads and tortillas. Stripped of nutrition and engineered for shelf life, modern bread spikes blood sugar as much as a Snickers bar according to Dr. William Davis. Opt for fermented sourdough or sprouted grain, or remove bread entirely for 30 days. Boxed pastas and processed comfort foods. Hyper-palatable combinations of salt, sugar, fat, and starch that overstimulate the brain's reward centers while leaving the body nutritionally depleted. A follow-up to Hall's study found people eating these foods consumed up to 1,000 extra calories per day. Seed oil-laden dressings, sauces, and condiments. Soybean, canola, corn, sunflower, and related oils produce carcinogenic aldehydes during processing and are in roughly 80% of the food supply. Replace with avocado oil, extra virgin olive oil, grass-fed butter, ghee, coconut oil, beef tallow, or duck fat. Look for seed oil-free brands like Primal Kitchen and Chosen Foods. Alcohol. A 1992 New England Journal of Medicine study found moderate alcohol consumption drops fat oxidation by 70% for hours. The liver prioritizes clearing alcohol above all else, including fat burning, while simultaneously increasing appetite and lowering the brain's stop-eating signals.
