Fuel demand just shifted. Wildfires are disrupting cattle country. And fertilizer costs are starting to climb again.

On today’s Boots & Bushels, we break down what’s happening underneath the market right now—and why it matters heading into planting season.

E15 ethanol approval is quietly strengthening corn demand while crude oil stays elevated, tying agriculture even closer to energy markets. At the same time, Nebraska wildfires are forcing real decisions for cattle producers, and rising fertilizer costs are starting to pressure farm margins before planters even roll.

This isn’t just about prices—it’s about what could change next.

We cover grains, livestock, energy, weather risks, and the key pressure building across agriculture right now.
