Market Talk

We saw red across much of the grain and livestock sector on Thursday after a disappointing weekly export sales report as well as first notice day for March options. We break it all down with John Heinberg from Total Farm Marketing on today's show.

Grains were higher across the board as well as livestock on Wednesday. The soy complex led once again in grains with wheat higher and corn up slightly. Hogs once again went on a tear and took cattle with them. Mike Zuzolo with Global Commodity Analytics joins us to discuss.

The soy complex continued on a tear higher thanks to a very bullish world vegetable oil market. Corn was up fractionally while wheat was down slightly. Meantime, has the hog market topped out? Bill Biedermann with AgMarket.net joins us to talk about it.

Markets were strong on Monday with most all commodities and livestock moderately higher. Is South American weather issues the reason or is it something else? Bryan Doherty with Total Farm Marketing joins us to discuss the trade.

Market Talk host Jesse Allen recaps the day's market trade and takes a full look at the USDA Outlook Forum numbers released over the last two days.

We got the first batch of numbers from the USDA Ag Outlook Forum on Thursday; markets were fairly quiet to lower on the day with wheat the lone exception. What do these numbers mean and what more should we expect on Friday? Mike Zuzolo with Global Commodity Analytics joins us to discuss all of it.

The markets were mostly lower on Wednesday although corn and soybeans did rally to unchanged late. What drove the market lower? Was it profit taking? John Heinberg with Total Farm Marketing joins us to talk about it and share his thoughts.

Markets came back from a three day weekend and traded solidly higher on Tuesday. Good strength throughout all commodities and lean hogs while the cattle market finished mixed. Matt Bennett with AgMarket.net joins us to discuss.

Markets are closed for Presidents Day on Monday, so that allows us to catch up with an old friend! Former USDA Undersecretary in the Trump Administration and former Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey joins us today. We discuss his time at USDA, his thoughts on the new administration and how that will affect agriculture and much more.

Grain markets wrapped the week quietly as we head into a three-day weekend. Livestock trade was strong in both cattle and hogs to close out the week. Today, we welcome Ted Seifried of Zaner Ag Hedge in Chicago to discuss the market trade at week's end.
