Rain makes grain! Today we’ll discuss the state of the crops and the latest conditions according to the ProFarmer Crop Tour, as well as last week’s August WASDE report, and much more.

War on, war off…again! Do we have a peace deal in Iran? Still not quite sure. Today we’ll discuss the latest war update, tomorrow’s August WASDE report expectations, and more.

War and weather remain big price drivers, as energy markets remain volatile in response to back-and-forth peace talks, and crop conditions remain decent for corn and soybeans

Energy prices drop! Corn and soybean conditions drop! We’ll talk about war and weather updates and more on today’s call.

Energy prices are skyrocketing as the war rages on…well, make that WARS as fresh strikes are affecting shipments out of both the Black Sea and the Strait of Hormuz.

The ceasefire is over…again! Crude oil (and SBO) are back up after renewed strikes in the Middle East. We’ll also discuss last week’s July WASDE, the recent hot weather, and more…

We hope everyone had a great 4th of July weekend! Today, we’ll go over what we learned from the USDA’s June 30 reports, what to expect on this Friday’s WASDE report, and what to make of all this hot weather.

Buckle up, it’s Report Day! Today, we’ll preview the USDA’s BIG June reports (June 1 stocks and 2026 acreage) and how the results could potentially move the market for corn, wheat, and soybeans.

Crop conditions? Looking more fancy! Spec funds? Still selling! Peace Deal? Looking more likely!

PEACE deal? We shall see…today we’ll discuss the market reaction, last week’s June WASDE report, and a smaller-than-expected NOPA crush report.

Sell Mortimer, sell! This week, we’ll talk about the sell off in the Big 3 (corn, wheat, soybeans) last week, and we’ll preview this week’s June WASDE report.

RIN-sanity rallies the SBO market as energy remains volatile and we continue to be “close to a peace deal” in Iran.

War on, war off, again! We’ll discuss the tenuous ceasefire, continued volatility in the energy markets, and U.S. planting progress.

Volatility in the markets continues as traders react to the Trump/Xi Summit, war updates and energy prices, and a potentially disastrous HRW crop.

War update: will it ever end? Today’s we’ll give our weekly war debrief before discussing the continued winter wheat woes and previewing the USDA’s May WASDE report.

Energy rallies again! Today we’ll give you the usual war update, discuss the latest crop conditions, and more.

War and weather whiplash! Today we will discuss the rally in energy markets, the latest crop conditions, and another new spec record in SBO.

War and weather are the two big headlines today! We’ll discuss the ever-changing conditions in the Straight of Hormuz, dryness and drought in winter wheat country, and more.

War (and volatility) continues! Today, we’ll discuss the volatility in commodity markets in recent weeks, results from last week’s April WASDE, and how the weather has been affecting crop conditions.

Today we’ll discuss the upcoming April WASDE report, a record long spec position in soybean oil, and some stinky U.S. winter wheat conditions.
