In this episode of The Ag View Pitch, we sit down with Jarod Creed to break down why today’s grain markets are forcing farmers to rethink everything they know about marketing. Corn demand remains historically strong, soybeans are shifting toward domestic crush, and South American weather risks loom in the background, but the real story is how farm programs, crop insurance, and recent policy changes have completely altered the revenue equation.

We dive into why a board rally can actually reduce total farm revenue, how ARC and PLC payments factor into real-world marketing decisions, and why the biggest risk for many producers right now is not lower prices, but higher ones. This conversation also tackles basis management, cash flow pressures, lender conversations, and why volatility, not straight-line rallies, may be the most profitable environment for farmers over the next 18–24 months.
