In this episode of Parlor to Plate, from Ever.Ag Insights, the team takes stock of mid-year market surprises and questions shaping the second half of 2025. What’s behind California’s slow recovery in milk production after avian influenza, and how might mounting cow numbers fuel stronger U.S. output? Will the cheese futures curve maintain a strong premium to spot or will increasing cheese production start to make a difference? How are renewable diesel mandates roiling soybean meal prices and supporting lower protein costs for dairy rations? And with near-ideal weather so far, will USDA push corn yield forecasts to new highs—pressuring feed costs even further?

Join host Kathleen Wolfley and panelists John Billington, Tiffany LaMendola, and Brandon Weigel for a timely, expert discussion.
