Market Talk

Thursday saw a rebound in corn and soybean markets with a solid export sales and shipments report. Hogs continued their impressive strength as well. John Heinberg with Total Farm Marketing joins us to talk about the trade as we near a long holiday weekend.

Profit taking was the name of the game on Wednesday as long positions were liquidated in grain trade and we saw a hard selloff. All this comes after a rather disappointing WASDE report for February. However, hogs and feeder cattle were strong on the day. Mike Zuzolo of Global Commodity Analytics joins us to talk about it.

USDA surprised traders on Tuesday with a lower corn ending stocks number, but not as low as expected. We also saw a lower soybean ending stocks number with little changes elsewhere. By the end of the day, soybeans and soy products were the only commodities higher along with feeder cattle. Jim McCormick with AgMarket.net joins us to talk about the report and today's trade.

Grain markets were bullishly higher on Monday, one day ahead of the USDA February WASDE report. It's anticipated that we will see a bullish report and grains reacted to that on Monday. Bryan Doherty with Total Farm Marketing by Stewart-Peterson joins us to discuss.

On today's show, Jesse Allen has our market recap and analysis heading into the weekend. Grains were mixed on the session with wheat leading higher; livestock trade was mixed with good strength in lean hogs again today.

We also talk about potential tax law changes under the Biden Administration with Chad Hanson of Corporate Farmer.

And, it's our February Progressive Agriculture Foundation Safety Message as we talk burn awareness with Jana Davidson.

Grains were mixed today as we had a new marketing year high for corn export sales. Soybeans and bean oil were firm while wheat was under pressure again and corn was quiet. Livestock were solid with good export demand again. John Heinberg with Total Farm Marketing joins us to discuss.

Grain markets were once again lower on Tuesday with more fund selling and technical correction. Livestock took advantage and traded higher with lean hogs testing key resistance. Brian Splitt with AgMarket.net joins us to talk about the trade today.

We have a new analyst joining us today on the show; Amberlee Bratcher is with Total Farm Marketing by Stewart-Peterson. She has some great thoughts on this market as we enter a new month. Corn and soybeans did rally late while wheat sagged. More details in today's episode.
