The grain markets are rallying on Monday, led by the soy complex and wheat with corn following behind. The hot/dry weather forecast in the western Corn Belt seems to be the dominating factor in this market rally to start the week while outside markets are supportive. Ryan Moe of StoneX joins us to discuss the market trade today.

We saw fairly choppy trade in corn and soybeans on Friday with wheat under pressure and livestock mixed to lower. Overall, the push/pull between a weather market and macro factors (inflation, U.S. dollar, etc) continues to be a driving factor. Ted Seifried of Zaner Ag Hedge joins us and he has some great comments on this push/pull mentality in the trade that we need to consider. Learn more at https://www.zaner.com.

Also looking at the market action this past week, there continues to be many factors weighing on both sides of the trade. Nutrien Chief Economist and Head of Market Research Jason Newton joins us to have a discussion about the factors impacting the market trade here in mid-July.

On Tuesday, we saw the USDA July WASDE report get released and it came in pretty much as expected. However, the markets didn't really react at all to the report as outside market pressure hammered grain and oilseeds on the day. We discuss what is going on in the trade and recap the July numbers with Matt Bennett of AgMarket.net.

Also, more than 40% of U.S. farmland is owned by people older than 65 and 3% are owned by foreign investors, which means younger generations are facing a real estate barrier to enter the agriculture industry as farmland prices surge and rising interests rates lead to more expensive mortgages. Curt Covington, senior director of partner relations at AgAmerica, joins Jesse Allen to discuss this topic. Learn more at https://www.agamerica.com.

The July WASDE report is now out from USDA and it appears to be pretty much as expected. The grains and oilseeds though continue to take a beating from the outside markets on Tuesday while livestock is firm to higher in feeder cattle. We discuss the report and more with Arlan Suderman, Chief Commoditties Economist at StoneX.

Corn and soybeans have tried to put back on some weather risk premium while wheat has moved lower in the face of new highs in the U.S. dollar today. Livestock are mostly cautious to higher in cattle. We discuss the markets with Arlan Suderman of StoneX.
