Cattle are still holding near the highs—but the pressure underneath this market is starting to build.

In today’s Boots & Bushels, we break down what’s actually developing across agriculture right now. From soybean frost concerns and uneven planting progress to falling wheat conditions and a more active weather pattern, there are multiple pieces starting to stack up at the same time.

We also look at:

* Why planting progress numbers don’t tell the full story
* What repeated storm systems could mean for fieldwork
* How rising crude oil is keeping pressure on input costs
* And why cattle margins aren’t getting any easier—even with strong prices

This isn’t one headline driving the market. It’s everything happening at once.

And when that happens, something usually gives.
