And last but not least, Eric Snodgrass of Nutrien joins us for this week's weather outlook.

We see the grains, oilseeds and energies in a risk off mode today as we got weaker China economic news weighing on the markets along with better weather for much of the Corn Belt this week including some rains in very dry areas of the western belt. Arlan Suderman, Chief Commodities Economist at StoneX joins us to discuss the market trade on Monday.

On Friday, we saw USDA report a slightly lower U.S. corn yield and a slightly higher U.S. soybean yield which surprised the trade some. Were there any other surprises from USDA's August World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates? What about the acreage update in the Dakotas and Minnesota?

We saw lower inflation numbers out Wednesday and for the most part, good strength in grains all day long. The soy complex faded late in the session though; what happened there?

Plus, we continue our crop tour of the Corn Belt and talk with North Central Iowa farmer Derek Schutjer. He is in one of the areas that saw good rains this past weekend. We get insight to what he is seeing in his area at the end of today's program.

On Tuesday, we saw the grain markets move to the upside amid lower than anticipated weekly crop ratings and funds putting money back into the soybean market. Livestock were mostly lower on the session. We catch up with Matt Bennett of AgMarket.net to discuss.

Also, Mike Minor of Professional Ag Marketing joins us to recap their crop tour last week. We discuss what he saw for crop conditions across the Corn Belt and their yield estimates for this year.

Soybeans and meal are leading the grains and oilseeds higher with solid strength in corn and wheat holding gains for the most part. Lower than expected weekly crop ratings seem to be the reason behind the move. Meanwhile, livestock are mostly lower. We discuss the markets with Arlan Suderman, Chief Commodities Economist at StoneX, in our Midday Commentary.

Markets on Monday were fairly quiet and choppy in two-sided action. We did see a bit more weakness move in later in the session in grains and oilseeds but overall a quiet start to the week with USDA's August WASDE Report coming up on Friday. Livestock had a solid day in both cattle and hogs. We discuss today with John Heinberg of Total Farm Marketing. Learn more at https://www.totalfarmmarketing.com.

We saw some impressive rains across the Corn Belt over the weekend but not everyone saw the good rains. What about the week ahead, any chances for precipitation across the Corn Belt? Eric Snodgrass of Nutrien joins us to discuss the weather forecast for the week ahead.
