Soybeans lead grains higher with strong demand from China ahead of this month's trade summit. The wars continue to give bullish support with higher crude oil prices. Cattle closed higher in a corrective rally, but no cash trade has been reported yet for the week.
Diesel fuel prices are setting records this week just as farmers are ramping up machines to facilitate this year's harvest. The increased expense threatens to offset any relief from the recent bounce in commodity prices. A survey of market analysts suggests traders are expecting the USDA's WASDE estimates Friday will show lower corn and soybean production.
U.S. grain and cattle markets are starting the week with plenty to watch, from drought concerns and global crop losses to tightening cattle supplies. On SF Daily, host Lorrie Boyer breaks down the latest market moves and the USDA data traders are watching ahead of Friday's WASDE report.
With farmer survey response rates declining, USDA is looking to satellites, streamlined reporting and new technology to strengthen agricultural data.
Jim Wiesemeyer of Wiesemeyer's Perspectives podcast and Shaun Haney of RealAg Radio join Chip Flory for the Friday Free-for-all. Topics include potential for executive order for MCOOL, increased efforts to get exports out of Russia and Ukraine, WASDE next week, high fuel costs, especially diesel, and more.

Grain markets are consolidating ahead of the Labor Day holiday, but strong corn and soybean demand and lower yield expectations are keeping traders focused on the supply outlook. SF Daily, hosted by Lorrie Boyer, breaks down the latest market action and agriculture news.
New estimates suggest better farm income for the year ahead, but input costs continue rising. Reports suggest th EPA is considering eliminating a federal requirement that states notify the public and seek comment before issuing air pollution permits for data centers and other industrial facilities. Private crop estimates expect the USDA to lower crop production in next week's WASDE report.
Deze zomer vertrok ik op de fiets vanuit ons huis in de Auvergne, met Alpe d'Huez als eindpunt. Vier dagen, 500 kilometer en zo'n 7500 hoogtemeters, in mijn eentje, van chambre d'hôte naar chambre d'hôte. Ik deed het om mijn man Rik aan te moedigen, die met dertig collega's van Mediafin de col beklom voor Climbing for Life, ten voordele van de Diabetes Liga.In deze aflevering neem ik je mee.

To talk about the August WASDE this week, we're joined once again by DTN Lead Markets Analyst Rhett Montgomery.He's been keeping an eye on everything from conditions on the ground to analyst expectations, and brings us a complete picture of the Department's latest updates. He'll walk us down the balance sheets for corn, soybeans, and wheat, putting demand and international trade in perspective and offering insight on the wildcards that will persist between now and harvest. Then he'll offer his take on what's next — how the strengthening El Nino might influence the last weeks of the season, how the intensifying Ukraine conflict is threatening wheat and corn movements in key regions, and how extreme drought in Europe might echo across commodity markets for many months to come.
Joe Kooima of Kooima Kooima Varilek in Sioux Center, Iowa joins Market Talk on Friday to break down a rough end of the week in the cattle complex after Tyson Foods announced it is closing two beef facilities, including the Joslin, Illinois plant, and looking to sell a third. Joe explains why this round of consolidation does not feel like the last two, what the loss of open interest is telling him about who is left in the cattle market, and why packer margins recovered almost overnight. He also looks at a stagnant hog market, the surprise corn yield cut in Wednesday's WASDE report, and the weather risk building west of the I-29 corridor. Brady Huck of Empower Ag Trading in Kansas also joins Market Talk to unpack a Friday that pulled the cattle and grain markets in opposite directions. On the cattle side, Tyson Foods announced it is closing the Joslin, Illinois plant and a case-ready facility in Utah while looking to sell Pasco, Washington. Brady walks through why the market still lacks conviction, why the boxed beef cutout is the number that has to move first, and what the chuck and the round have to do with any rally. On the grain side the tone flips. A supportive WASDE report, a national corn yield cut, Black Sea headlines and a wheat market making a run at eight dollars have given the bulls multiple stories to work with. Brady lays out what tight world stocks-to-use means going forward, and how producers should think about rewarding this rally without over-committing bushels they may not raise.
The Friday Free-for-all with Jim Wiesemeyer of Wiesemeyer's Perspectives podcast and Shaun Haney or RealAg Radio join Chip Flory to discuss USDA's Crop Production and WASDE reports, the mishandled “modernization” tweet, Black Sea choke point, Tyson closing plant, extension of the Jones Act Waiver, NGFA against UP/Norfolk Southern merger and moreSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The USDA's WASDE report today revealed increased acres for both corn and soybean crops. Corn yield per acre fell but total production was forecast above 16 billion bushels. Soybean yield was also down, but production was forecast at a record level.
Ukrainian attacks on Russia's largest grain exporting facilities rallied grains overnight into Wednesday's session. The latest USDA yield projections were slightly lower than anticipated for corn and soybeans. Acreage was increased in today's WASDE for corn and soybeans, with around 2 million additional acres, combined. Arlan Suderman with Stone X Financial recaps today's trade.
Corn & soy complex Oh boy! More U.S. corn production and less ending stocks (and lower yield?) Wild Midwest weather and upside market bias Soybean changes benign, but spillovers from other markets supporting soybeans/soybean products Wheat Wheat takes a back seat with only limited changes in August WASDE However, starting to see early signs appear from the Ukraine/Russian conflict and Black Sea constraints Sugar Major changes for 2025/26 beet sugar A surprise for 2026/27 beet estimate Florida cane down more than expected Host: Michael Caughlan, President & CEO Expert: Nicole Thomas, Vice President – Information Services Expert: Eric Thornton, Vice President Expert: Kevin Combs, Vice President – Global Sweeteners Specialist
Corn and soybean yields came in a bit lower than analyst expectations while harvested area for both crops came in higher according to USDA's August World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates report out on Wednesday. Arlan Suderman, Chief Commodities Economist at StoneX, joins us for analysis and reaction in our Midday Commentary.
Mike Zuzolo of Global Commodity Analytics joins Jesse Allen on Market Talk for a full breakdown of the August 2026 WASDE and Crop Production reports. USDA pegged corn yield at 180.7 bushels per acre and soybeans at 52.7, both under the average trade estimate, while adding more than a million acres of harvested area to each crop. Zuzolo's own client survey, released the night before, had corn at 181.0 and beans at 52.7. We cover the USDA modeling change that pulled the agency's numbers in line with private survey work, why Illinois and the western Corn Belt did the damage, the same-day subsoil moisture picture, new-crop corn carryout at 1.653 billion bushels, the deleted USDA tweet and the transparency questions that followed, Black Sea shipping and the rumor that pulled risk premium out of wheat, the feeder-corn ratio, USDA's 2.7 percent cut to third quarter beef production, and the cattle-to-S&P correlation flip. Also in Segment Four, we learn about Bayer's new exclusive licensing agreement with RAGT to bring hybrid wheat into commercialization by the early 2030s. Dr. Francis Beecher with Bayer joins us to discuss on the show.

WASDE Wild Cards, Trading Volatility & Why Good Producers Still Struggle This week Kevin and Todd dig into today's WASDE report, where Kevin sees the biggest potential surprises, and why he believes the market may be sitting in a spot where one USDA number could trigger a much larger technical move. Kevin also explains why he is trading smaller as volatility increases, why he would rather react to a market mistake than try to predict the USDA, why some very good producers still struggle financially, and why the business side of agriculture is becoming an even bigger separator. A few highlights from this week's conversation: 00:40 — What should the most important room in agriculture be talking about?AI, robotics, government policy, new investment ideas, and one overriding question: How do we use all of these new tools to improve ROI? 02:15 — Kevin's biggest WASDE wild cardKevin says acreage may be the number that creates the surprise. He also discusses yield, feed and residual demand, exports, and why adjustments to last year's crop could still matter. 08:30 — Stop putting too much weight on weekly crop ratingsKevin pushes back hard on using USDA Good-to-Excellent ratings as a precise yield predictor and says he puts more weight on private tours, producer intelligence, and actual boots-on-the-ground observations. 19:25 — Don't predict the report. Wait for the market to make a mistake.Kevin compares trading around USDA reports to wrestling: stay balanced, let the opponent overextend, and then take advantage. 29:15 — Why Kevin is trading smaller than he used toMore speculative money, larger price swings, and greater volatility mean the consequences of being over-leveraged are dramatically higher. 37:40 — Are struggling producers simply bad operators?Kevin's distinction is important: most producers he knows are very good at producing a crop. The bigger separator is business — marketing, equipment decisions, insurance, inputs, technology, taxes, capital allocation, and ROI. 43:20 — Put a great businessperson against a great producer. Who wins?Kevin's answer is immediate: the businessperson. They may need time to learn production — or hire somebody who already knows it — but strong business judgment eventually becomes the advantage. 49:25 — The AI conversation comes down to one word: EXECUTEHaving data isn't enough. Having AI isn't enough. Having advisors isn't enough. The advantage comes from actually implementing what improves the business. 59:15 — Why Kevin is still holding substantial cash even as Wall Street gets more bullishKevin explains the difference between being bearish and maintaining dry powder. His long-term investing accounts remain bullish — he simply wants enough cash available to capitalize when markets hit one of the “trap doors” he believes are inevitable. KEVIN QUOTES “I'm not trying to predict or forecast what the USDA is gonna do… I'm trying to play if the market overreacts one way or the other.” “The whole key is to be able to stay with a move and not get shook out.” “The differentiator is on the business side.” “A great person can take a really shitty or bad idea and make it good. A bad person can take a really great business and make it really bad.” The bigger theme running through this episode is simple: Volatility creates opportunity — but only if you have the discipline, liquidity, and business structure to survive long enough to take advantage of it.

Corn and soybean futures face a volatile week as traders position ahead of Wednesday's USDA WASDE report, with analysts expecting a lower U.S. corn yield. SF Daily host Lorrie Boyer breaks down the market-moving developments shaping grain, livestock, and weather markets.
We saw grains weaken ahead of WASDE, wheat pressured by Black Sea ceasefire rumors, cattle mixed, crude higher, and metals diverge into Tuesday midday trade.
With plenty of rain in the forecast, market bulls are waiting to see what the USDA expectations are for corn and soybean yields. Only time will tell what the global grain supply will look like, depending on how long the Black Sea fighting restricts grain exports. The decline in boxed beef has shown that consumer demand may have shifted away from beef for now. Shawn Hacket with Hackett Financial Advisors recaps today's trade.

The August 6 edition of Commodity Week features agricultural market analysis from Ellen Dearden and Naomi Blohm ahead of the upcoming USDA crop production and WASDE reports. The panelists anticipate the USDA will maintain corn and soybean yield estimates near 183 and 53 bushels per acre, respectively, while emphasizing the need to monitor how European drought conditions and South American El Niño weather patterns will impact global grain stocks. The discussion details critical technical trading thresholds for December corn and November soybeans, advising producers to employ defensive marketing strategies, while waiting for potential seasonal harvest lows. Finally, the analysts provide brief outlooks on the livestock sectors—noting strong dairy demand, stable but softening live cattle fundamentals, and a persistently weak hog market—and warn that ongoing geopolitical tensions remain a volatile risk to global agricultural trade.Panelists- Naomi Blohm, TotalFarmMarketing.com- Ellen Dearden, AgReview ★ Support this podcast ★
Ahead of the next WASDE report and our own ProFarmer Crop Tour, we are focusing in on private yield estimates. Despite declining crop conditions, the yield might be better than you think.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
On Thursday we saw corn and soybeans quietly higher, wheat, cattle, and hogs all lower. We start the show in Segment One with analysis from our Midday Commentary with Mike Castle, Senior Commodities Economist at StoneX. Then, it's a new episode of Cattle Chatter with Susan Littlefield as she talks with Brad Kooima from Kooima Kooima Varilek, who breaks down the ongoing volatility, including the lack of open interest and the challenges facing the market. He also discusses the uncertainty surrounding the Fort Morgan plant, dry pastures across parts of the West while other areas are finally receiving rain, and what those conditions could mean for cattle supplies. Then we talk with Bryan Doherty from Total Farm Marketing who discusses why corn may be closer to a breakdown than it looks, what next week's WASDE and FSA numbers could mean for direction, why the stock market rally isn't translating cleanly to livestock, and why he can't find a convincing bearish case for wheat right now. Later, Bryan continues his ongoing options strategy series with a breakdown of short call and short put options — what they are, how they work, and why they can be powerful tools for producers and end users alike.
We saw grains fall as crude oil plunged, rains eased crop concerns, cattle rallied, and export demand reinforced tighter corn carryout outlook ahead of WASDE.
The July WASDE dropped Friday, July 10th, pulling in the June 30th acreage numbers to give farmers and traders the clearest look yet at the 2026 crop in the field.With some expectations that the report would lean into bullish estimates, watchers also had to keep in mind ongoing conflicts around the world that continue to disturb markets. To help us dig into the latest, DTN Lead Analyst Rhett Montgomery joins us to unpack all the updates to corn, soybean, and wheat balance sheets in the aftermath of the report. We'll dive a bit into the archives for some of USDA's recent updates, then zoom ahead to the current and forecasted figures as the growing crop comes into view. We'll talk trade, ethanol and crush, global stocks and basis, and hear what Rhett is keeping in mind as the weather picture continues to drive daily trading between now and the August update. ▶️ WATCH the July WASDE report webinar or read DTN analyst coverage of the report.

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 ★
