In this episode of the Bushels and Beef podcast, Shane Holtorff and Melissa Schmidt from Logic Ag Marketing discuss the latest WASDE report and what it could mean for corn producers.

They talk through the surprise increase in yield, acres, and ending stocks, the range of reactions they’re hearing from farmers, and how they are thinking about today’s grain markets and production costs.

The conversation also touches on risk management considerations, cash flow planning, and some of the factors producers may want to keep in mind when making marketing decisions. Shane shares why this report has been especially frustrating for many, while Melissa points out a few constructive trends she’s watching, including ethanol demand and export activity.

The episode wraps up with general ideas for how producers can approach their marketing plans in a challenging environment, and the value of accountability and support when working through decisions.
