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.
