Severe weather is lining up again—and it’s hitting ground that’s already under pressure.

In today’s Boots & Bushels, we break down the developing storm system moving across the Plains and Midwest, what it means for planting progress, and how saturated soils are starting to stack risk across the system.

At the same time, cattle pulled back today while hogs pushed higher, and crude oil continues to hold firm near $90. That keeps pressure in place across feed costs, inputs, and overall farm margins.

This isn’t just a weather story. It’s a setup where multiple risks are building at once—storms, flooding, temperature swings, and uneven moisture across key growing regions.

We cover:

* The next round of severe weather and where it’s headed
* Flooding risk and fieldwork delays
* Freeze-to-warm temperature swings and crop stress
* Livestock movement: cattle pullback vs hog strength
* Crude oil holding firm and what that keeps in play
