Market Talk

We closed out the week of market trade with mixed action in grains on Friday as soybeans bounced a bit to end the week. Livestock trade found more decent support with cattle leading ahead of the cattle on feed report. The dollar surged again and it was a wild week in the dairy markets. Naomi Blohm from Total Farm Marketing joins us to discuss the week in the markets and managing your risk ahead of the holiday season in this episode. More at https://www.totalfarmmarketing.com.

It was a fairly quiet end of the week in what has been a news headline driven market trade in grains all week long.

Wheat finished off session highs with soy under pressure and corn stuck in the middle. A lack of fresh news, outside of the Russia/Ukraine war, seemed to be the biggest catalyst in Tuesday's trade action.
