Pressure is building across agriculture—and it’s not coming from just one place.

In today’s Boots & Bushels, we break down the growing risks farmers and ranchers are facing right now. Severe storms are moving through key production areas, followed by a sharp cold shift that could bring frost risk into parts of the Midwest. At the same time, screwworm cases are getting closer to the U.S. border, raising concerns for cattle producers.

We also look at how uncertainty in Washington around the Farm Bill could impact decision-making across the industry, and why markets may be reacting to risk before it fully shows up.

Here’s what we cover today:

* Severe weather threats across the Plains and Midwest
* Cold temperatures and potential frost risk
* Screwworm risk approaching U.S. livestock regions
* Farm Bill tension and policy uncertainty
* What this means for cattle, grains, and farm margins

Markets are still holding in places—but pressure is building underneath.
