For Monday's Midday Commentary, we get a breakdown of the livestock complex with Katy Doumit from StoneX as she talks with our own Susan Littlefield.

We get Friday's show started to close out July with market analysis and perspective from Mike Castle, Senior Commodities Economist at StoneX. In Segment Two, we discuss the week in the cattle and hog markets and get perspective from Joe Kooima with Kooima Kooima Varilek. Then we spend the rest of the show talking about a wild month of market volatility and look at the ag economy with Chad Hart from Iowa State University.

Wheat was under pressure again on Friday with mixed action elsewhere. Mike Castle, Senior Commodities Economist with StoneX, joins us to break down the week and the end of the month trade action in grains, livestock and the macro markets.

On Thursday's show, we talk market action in Segment One with Darren Frye from Water Street Solutions followed by a new episode of Cattle Chatter with Susan Littlefield and Joe Kooima from KKV Trading in Segment Two. Then we talk markets, long call option basics and more with Bryan Doherty from Total Farm Marketing to finish out the show.

Wednesday on Market Talk we sit down with Mike Zuzolo, president of Global Commodity Analytics, to unpack a volatile midweek session — soybeans and corn lower, wheat mixed, cattle higher, and the Fed holding rates steady. Mike breaks down the ruble's slide against the dollar, fresh sanctions on Russia and Iran, an intense 24 hours of military escalation, why soybeans are giving back ground faster than corn, what the weather models mean for national yield, key technical levels in soybeans and December corn, and why he still sees feeder cattle as the market's leader heading into the border reopening.

We also get price perspective from Mike Castle, Senior Commodities Economist at StoneX, in Segment One and talk more broadly about the ag economy situation including upcoming ARC/PLC payments, soybean crush margins and more with David Widmar from Agricultural Economic Insights in Segment Two.
