Just when it looked like higher oil prices and geopolitical uncertainty might support grain markets, the opposite happened.

Funds have started liquidating grain positions while oil continues to climb, creating one of the most confusing market environments producers have faced in years. Jon Prischmann and Ryan Tungseth break down why corn, soybeans, and wheat are struggling despite bullish outside-market influences, what fund liquidation means for grain prices, and why weather remains the biggest unanswered question heading into summer.

They also discuss the difficult decisions producers are facing right now: whether to make additional sales, hold unpriced bushels, or look for ways to protect downside risk without giving up potential weather-driven rallies. Plus, they examine why rising input costs continue to squeeze profitability, what higher oil prices could mean for agriculture, and why cattle markets may be showing early signs of a changing trend.

If you've been looking at the markets lately and thinking none of it makes sense, you're not alone. This episode tackles one of the toughest grain marketing environments in recent memory and explores what producers should be watching next.
