Global Dairy Trade prices moved higher for the second auction in a row, with the overall index up 1.5%. In this episode of GDT Review, Ever.Ag’s Cody Koster and Jon Spainhour break down the key movers—from strong gains in AMF and butter to softness in cheese prices—and what those signals mean for US competitiveness in global export markets.

The conversation digs into price spreads between the US, EU, and New Zealand, the outsized impact of Middle Eastern buying amid seasonally declining volumes, and why rising prices may be more about short-term bounces than a true shift in fundamentals. With global milk production still strong across the major dairy exporters, the team expects supply to remain the defining force shaping dairy markets heading into February.

The Global Dairy Trade auction kicked off 2026 with a long-awaited rebound, posting a 6.3% aggregate gain from the last event — the first higher auction in ten events. In this episode, Cody Koster and John Spainhour break down where the strength showed up.

Whole milk powder stole the show with a 7.8% surge, snapping a multi-month slide, while skim milk powder climbed 5.5%, keeping U.S. nonfat prices at a global premium. Butter and AMF also rebounded after four consecutive declines, helping lift overall sentiment.

The discussion dives into global price relationships, futures expectations versus reality, and why renewed buying interest — potentially from China, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East — may be emerging as GDT offer volumes begin to ease. Is this a turning point, or simply a bounce in a pattern of prolonged weakness?

Tune in for a clear, data-driven breakdown of what changed — and what to watch heading into the next auction.

In this special year-end episode of The Grain Feed, the Ever.Ag team wraps up 2025 with a look at where grain, feed, and dairy markets stand heading into the holidays—and what to watch as we turn the calendar to 2026.

Jim Matthews is joined by Jake Kingsley and Katie Burgess to break down a recovery in corn, continued pressure in soybeans and meal, and emerging feed-buying opportunities amid weather disruptions and South American crop uncertainty. On the dairy side, Katie walks through recent milk market volatility, the outlook for supply growth, and why exports and seasonal demand—from holiday baking to fast-food promotions—will be critical in the months ahead.

The team also discusses upcoming January data risks, including USDA reports, South American weather, acreage expectations, and managed money positioning—before signing off on the final Grain Feed episode in its current form, with a preview of what’s coming next from Ever.Ag Media.

Thank you for listening, and happy holidays from The Grain Feed.

The final Global Dairy Trade auction of 2025 closed with another broad-based pullback, as the GDT index fell roughly 4.5%—marking the ninth consecutive lower auction. While mozzarella stood out with a nearly 7% gain and cheddar finished unchanged, losses in whole milk powder, skim milk powder, butter, and AMF weighed heavily on the overall result.

In this episode, Cody Koster and John Spainhower break down why today’s auction was “lower, but not as bad as expected” in some categories, how futures stacked up against reality, and what surprised markets most—particularly the downside move in skim milk powder. They also dig into regional buying behavior, including China’s return to more typical volumes and the noticeable pullback from Southeast Asia and the Middle East.

The conversation wraps with a big-picture look at the global dairy landscape, where expanding milk production across the U.S., EU, New Zealand, and South America continues to pressure prices—despite growing global cheese demand. With supply firmly in the driver’s seat, the team discusses what it may take to rebalance markets as we head into 2026.

In the final Parlor to Plate episode of the year—and of this series—host Kathleen Wolfley is joined by a powerhouse panel from Ever.Ag Financial Services to break down the latest global and domestic dairy market signals. The team digs into another lower Global Dairy Trade auction, highlighting continued pressure on whole milk powder, softer global pricing tied to ample supply, and a standout move higher in mozzarella.

The conversation then turns to U.S. milk production, where panelists discuss why lower prices haven’t yet triggered meaningful culling, how Class III and Class IV dynamics are shaping producer behavior, and what it may take for supply to finally respond. On the feed side, the group unpacks a well-supplied corn balance sheet, muted feed-cost risk heading into 2026, and what kind of catalyst it would take to meaningfully move grain markets.

With insights on risk management, margins, and the road ahead, this episode offers a timely close to the year—and a preview of what’s to come in Ever.Ag’s evolving podcast lineup in 2026.

This week on The Grain Feed, Jim, Jake, and Verl break down a deceptively quiet December WASDE that still sent ripples through corn, soybean, and wheat markets. After an early brawl over hard red vs. soft red winter wheat, the team walks through crop conditions, dormancy fundamentals, and why Kansas City wheat continues to command protein premiums.

With corn exports running hot, the group discusses how strong global demand is propping up prices despite a hefty 2-billion-bushel balance sheet. Soybeans, meanwhile, continue their descent as China’s anticipated buying program fails to materialize—raising real questions about whether USDA will be forced to cut export projections in the January report.

Jake also delivers a deep dive into protein and soybean meal, exploring crush margins, renewable diesel policy uncertainty, and how future EPA mandates could shift domestic oil and feed values.

Packed with market insights and weather chatter, this episode gives producers a grounded, practical view of what’s moving grain markets heading into 2026.

This week on Parlor to Plate, host Katie Burgess sits down with Brian Fletcher, Zach Bowers, and Natalie McCarty for a timely breakdown of dairy and grain

markets as we head into the final stretch of 2025. With spot cheddar falling to $1.35/lb — its lowest level since July 2023 — the team unpacks how global milk production, expanding U.S. cheese capacity, and sharply discounted European mozzarella have shaped today’s downtrend.

From the producer perspective, Zach explains why Class III milk checks still feel relatively insulated, why Class IV regions may feel the squeeze sooner, and why early-2026 hedging looks more like cheap insurance than a profit play.

Natalie rounds out the conversation with a look at grain and protein inputs, including expectations for the December WASDE, softer soybean and meal markets, and a massive Canadian canola crop that is adding welcome relief to producer feed costs.

If you manage dairy price risk—or just want to understand the forces moving milk, cheese, and feed markets—this episode offers clear, actionable insight heading into 2026.

This week on The Grain Feed, Jim Matthews and Jake Kingsley break down a rare move: corn taking the lead lower as markets brace for next Tuesday’s WASDE report. The team digs into strong U.S. export demand; the likelihood of yield cuts; and where USDA may pull accounting levers to soften the balance-sheet impact.

They also cover South America’s near-ideal weather and what record Brazilian and Argentine production could mean for futures. In the protein space, soybean meal continues to ease—off more than $20/ton from recent highs—raising opportunities for producers to extend coverage before China makes a bigger splash in the market or policy shifts disrupt veg-oil dynamics.

GDT posted its eighth consecutive decline this week, driven by heavy global milk supplies and weaker demand signals. Skim milk powder underperformed expectations at –1.7%, while whole milk powder fell 2.5% but beat futures-implied fears. Cheddar was the lone standout, jumping 7.2% on limited New Zealand volume and what appears to be highly targeted Middle East buying. Butter, however, stole the spotlight—dropping 12.2% and extending a decline now totaling more than 37% from recent highs.

Regionally, China bought more than last year but less than the previous auction, Southeast Asia stepped back, and the Middle East showed strong activity—likely influencing cheese strength. Across the board, surging milk production in the U.S., Europe, New Zealand, and South America continues to weigh on prices, with supply outpacing demand and tightening U.S. export competitiveness.

The team digs into surging cow numbers, stubbornly strong component levels, and when supply might finally tighten. Plus, a look at post-harvest feed markets, soybean uncertainty, and what producers should watch heading into early 2026.
