Market Talk

On Thursday, the USDA released is December WASDE report in which they lowered soybean ending stocks amid other minimal changes. However, it was enough to take away gains in the soybean and corn markets. John Heinberg with Total Farm Marketing joins us to analyze the report and today's trade.

One day ahead of the December WASDE report from USDA and we saw most grains and livestock contracts higher on Wednesday. Also, news that former US Ag Secretary Tom Vilsack is heading back to that post may have played a role in fueling the market. Mike Zuzolo with Global Commodity Analytics joins us to discuss.

Jim McCormick from AgMarket.net joins us today as we saw the markets in the red pretty much across the board. Soybeans led the day downward but we did see a nice late rally in cattle and hogs. We get the latest from Jim on today's program.

Bryan Doherty, Senior Market Advisor with Total Farm Marketing by Stewart-Peterson, joins us on this Monday to discuss the markets as we kick off another week of trading. It was more mixed trade on Monday with corn and wheat modestly higher while soybeans traded modestly lower. Meantime, it was a down day in cattle and hog futures to start the week. And we get our "Milk Monday" update from Bryan as well.

Also, Laurel Caes from John Deere joins us to talk about a Farm Rescue benefit concert on Wednesday!

The US dollar took a tumble on Thursday and that opened up an opportunity for soybeans and corn to move higher and reclaim some of it's losses. Where do we go from here? John Heinberg with Total Farm Marketing by Stewart-Peterson joins us to discuss.

A tale of two stories today as soybeans took another hit while corn and wheat rallied higher. Cattle continues to be solid while hogs saw a down day. Mike Zuzolo with Global Commodity Analytics joins us to discuss where the market is going post Thanksgiving.

Another down day in the commodity markets to start the month of December. Livestock on the other hand had a decent up day on Tuesday. Brian Splitt with AgMarket.net joins us to discuss what's going on in the marketplace today.
