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.
