Soybean traders were caught leaning toward the bullish side of the market as the USDA increased it's estimated production forecast for the season ahead. As expected, the September crop report lowered both the average corn yield and total production. The USDA lowered expectations for Brazilian corn exports and left its Argentine corn forecast unchanged at 63 mmt. 

The latest USDA WASDE report was mostly bullish for corn, but the slightly bearish tone for soybeans sent grains into a sharp sell off. Corn beginning stocks were lowered, along with yield projections. Soybean yields were raised very slightly, and wheat had a fairly neutral report. Cattle ended the week higher with stronger cash business. Barchart Senior Analyst, Darin Newsom, recaps today's trade.

I'm Todd Gleason for University of Illinois Extension with a history of labor day in the United States. It's adapted from a story found on the United States Embassy to Sweden's website.Eleven-year-old Peter McGuire sold papers on the street in New York City. He shined shoes and cleaned stores and later ran errands. It was 1863 and his father, a poor Irish immigrant, had just enlisted to fight in the Civil War. Peter had to help support his mother and six brothers and sisters.Many immigrants settled in New York City in the nineteenth century. They found that living conditions were not as wonderful as they had dreamed. Often there were six families crowded into a house made for one family. Thousands of children had to go to work. Working conditions were even worse. Immigrant men, women and children worked in factories for ten to twelve hours a day, stopping only for a short time to eat. They came to work even if they were tired or sick because if they didn't, they might be fired. Thousands of people were waiting to take their places.When Peter was 17, he began an apprenticeship in a piano shop. This job was better than his others, for he was learning a trade, but he still worked long hours with low pay. At night he went to meetings and classes in economics and social issues of the day. One of the main issues of concern pertained to labor conditions. Workers were tired of long hours, low pay and uncertain jobs. They spoke of organizing themselves into a union of laborers to improve their working conditions. In the spring of 1872, Peter McGuire and 100,000 workers went on strike and marched through the streets, demanding a decrease in the long working day.This event convinced Peter that an organized labor movement was important for the future of workers' rights. He spent the next year speaking to crowds of workers and unemployed people, lobbying the city government for jobs and relief money. It was not an easy road for Peter McGuire. He became known as a "disturber of the public peace." The city government ignored his demands. Peter himself could not find a job in his trade. He began to travel up and down the east coast to speak to laborers about unionizing. In 1881, he moved to St. Louis, Missouri, and began to organize carpenters there. He organized a convention of carpenters in Chicago, and it was there that a national union of carpenters was founded. He became General Secretary of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America.The idea of organizing workers according to their trades spread around the country. Factory workers, dock workers and toolmakers all began to demand and get their rights to an eight-hour workday, a secure job and a future in their trades. Peter McGuire and laborers in other cities planned a holiday for workers on the first Monday in September, halfway between Independence Day and Thanksgiving Day.  On September 5, 1882 the first Labor Day parade was held in New York City. ★ Support this podcast ★

SCN Could Be Costing You 5–10% of Your Soybean Yield Soybean cyst nematode (SCN) is one of the most damaging and difficult-to-detect pests in soybean production. Dr. Dylan Mangel, extension plant pathologist at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, explains how SCN spreads, why it can cause significant yield loss without visible symptoms, and what farmers can do to manage it. In this episode: How soybean cyst nematode affects soybean yield Why SCN can be difficult to identify in the field When and how to soil test for SCN How crop rotation and resistant varieties help manage populations The connection between SCN and other soybean diseases How SCN resistance is changing Using the SCN Profit Checker to estimate yield and economic losses Fall management steps farmers should take before next soybean crop Learn why knowing your SCN populations—and keeping records over time—can be one of the most important steps toward protecting soybean yield.

09 03 26 Corn and Soybean Traits by Ag PhD

The September 3 edition of Commodity Week, hosted by Todd Gleason, features panelists Matt Bennett, Shane Holtorf, and Sherman Newlin analyzing current agricultural market conditions. The panelists report that extreme heat is rapidly drying out corn and soybean crops across the Midwest, leading to widespread expectations that upcoming USDA yield estimates will fall due to variable weather damage throughout the season. They are not convinced the hot weather is doing anything more than drying the corn down faster. Alongside domestic crop challenges, the group highlights global market drivers, including potential Super El Niño impacts on Brazilian production, ongoing Black Sea export disruptions, and strong Chinese demand. Despite these bullish supply-and-demand factors, all three panelists advise producers to secure currently profitable prices through incremental new crop corn sales while maintaining flexibility with call options to capitalize on potential future market rallies.Panelists- Matt Bennett, AgMarket.net - Windsor, IL- Shane Holtorf, Logic Ag Marketing - Alta, IA- Sherman Newlin, Zaner Ag Hedge - Hutsonville, IL ★ Support this podcast ★

The September 3, 2026, broadcast of the *Closing Market Report*, hosted by Todd Gleason, covers commodity price movements, farm financial projections, federal data initiatives, and severe weather patterns affecting agriculture. Matt Bennett of AgMarket.net analyzes the day's market dynamics, highlighting how grain futures rebounded from early-session lows as speculative buying met profit-taking ahead of the three-day holiday weekend, while noting that late-season heat is rapidly advancing crop drydown without heavily damaging early-planted corn. Looking ahead to 2026 and 2027 budgets, University of Illinois agricultural economist Nick Paulson reports that while higher corn and soybean prices are driving positive projected net returns in Central and Northern Illinois, rising input costs—especially for fertilizer and fuel tied to Middle Eastern geopolitical conflict—continue to keep overall margins below long-term historical averages of $100 per acre. From the Farm Progress Show in Boone, Iowa, USDA Under Secretary Scott Hutchins details the agency's four-pillar data modernization initiative aimed at reducing survey burdens on farmers, utilizing satellite and NASA geospatial imagery for yield forecasts, eliminating cross-agency redundancy through AI and advanced analytics, and improving reporting transparency. Concluding the report, meteorologist Mike Tannura of Tstorm Weather warns of historic late-season heat running 8 to 10 degrees above normal across the U.S. Corn Belt, while pointing to an exceptionally strong El Niño pattern that is bringing unseasonable early rains to central Brazil and heavy precipitation to southern South American grain belts.01:50 Ag Markets with Matt Bennett, AgMarket.net07:12 farmodc 2027 Corn and Soybean Returns13:48 USDA Announces Data Modernization Plan16:22 Ag Weather with Mike Tannura, Tstorm Weather ★ Support this podcast ★

The September 1, 2026, edition of the Closing Market Report, hosted by Illinois Extension's Todd Gleason on Illinois Public Media, provides an in-depth review of key regulatory, market, agronomic, and weather developments impacting agriculture. Agricultural economist Scott Irwin discusses the EPA's decision to grant 1.8 billion gallons in small refinery exemptions (SREs) for 2025, explaining how the agency's supplemental rulemaking to reallocate 100% of those volumes into 2026 and 2027 mandates effectively neutralizes potential demand losses and supports the biodiesel and soy complex. Market analyst Naomi Blohm of Total Farm Marketing reviews the rally in soybean futures above $13 resistance, highlighting strong domestic demand, Chinese export sales, and the market impacts of geopolitical friction in the Black Sea and Middle East. Agricultural economist Nick Paulson explains how surging global sulfur prices—driven by Middle Eastern conflict and petroleum byproduct supply disruptions—are increasing the cost of MAP and DAP phosphate fertilizers ahead of fall applications.

Kyle Kirchhoff joins Farm4Profit for a conversation about manufacturing, entrepreneurship, and an often-overlooked piece of grain management: grain quality. Kyle shares how growing up on a Southwest Iowa farm, studying welding and metallurgy, and starting a small repair business eventually led to KWF and the acquisition of the Magik Grain Cleaners product line.  The discussion digs into how removing fines, cracked kernels, weed seeds, dirt, and other foreign material can improve airflow and grain storage while potentially reducing discounts at delivery. Kyle explains how the gravity-fed cleaners work without an external power source, where they can fit into a farm's grain-handling system, and why different crops and specialty markets require different screen configurations. The guys also tackle the question every farmer wants answered: Does grain cleaning actually pay? Kyle shares examples ranging from avoiding dockage and rejected specialty grain to a North Dakota customer who said the savings from one bin could have paid for his cleaner. They also explore portable cleaning systems, potential drying and airflow efficiencies, cleaning versus scalping, and whether cleaner grain could become another tool for protecting the value of every bushel farmers produce.
