  Grain prices are heading into harvest with an unusual amount of momentum, but DTN lead market analyst Rhett Montgomery says farmers should resist the temptation to wait for the perfect price. Instead, he says producers should use the rally to evaluate profitability, manage risk and build a marketing plan that can withstand a volatile market.

  Sep 21, 202622 min

  Grain IQ is an original production of the Nebraska Rural Radio Association in cooperation and with support from the Nebraska Soybean Board. A counterseasonal move is putting the grain market in an unusual position heading into harvest. Corn is up about $1.50 from its June low, while soybeans have gained nearly $3 — moves that would have looked attractive earlier in the year and could change quickly if the market's current bullish catalysts fade. On this episode of Grain IQ, Terrain grain and oilseed analyst Bree Baatz breaks down what is behind the rally and what producers can actually do with the opportunity.

  Commodity markets may be creating 80% of its own volatility. Here's how.

  Sep 1, 202625 min

  Why did the market move? Sometimes the answer isn’t weather, China, tariffs or a headline out of Washington. UNL economist Fabio Mattos says commodity markets may be creating much of their own volatility through the actions and reactions of the people trading them. His research suggests 70 to 80 percent of volatility may come from inside the market. So… can some of those moves actually be more predictable than we think? ‍ Grain IQ is an original production of the Nebraska Rural Radio Association with support from the Nebraska Soybean Board.

  Yields rise, bins don’t: The end of ‘bushel-for-bushel’ storage growth | Grain IQ Podcast

  Apr 28, 202626 min

  For twenty years, the math for U.S. grain storage was simple: for every extra bushel the American farmer grew, the industry built a bushel of space to hold it. But according to University of Illinois economist Joe Janzen, that "bushel-for-bushel" trend has officially snapped. In this episode of Grain IQ, Janzen noted that while U.S. grain production continues to climb in a "straight line," aggregate storage capacity has been flat since 2020.
