Market Talk

As we get back to trade action on Tuesday after the three day weekend, it is an impressive day for now in soybeans, meal and wheat futures. Corn is following and it's mixed in livestock. We discuss the markets with Arlan Suderman from StoneX.

It's an interesting question/idea that has been brought to our attention here lately, despite record high cattle prices some folks are wondering if it could actually be hard to make a profit. We explore that topic, look at the cattle markets as a whole and get some thoughts on the grain markets ahead of a three day weekend with Brady Huck from Advance Trading Inc. and ATI Pro Media.

Soybeans and corn saw a solid rally on Friday into a three day weekend, especially on old crop futures. Have we reached some actionable levels in row crops that producers should consider marketing?

Also, how is the National Pork Board looking to connect with younger consumers to build a bigger appetite for pork? Improving demand starts with understanding what is important to consumers, and what motivates them to pick up a product at the store or choose it at a restaurant.

NPB Nutrition Team Members Dr. Kristen Hicks Roof and Emily Krause join us to discuss. More at https://www.pork.org.
