#793 - Is the Grain Market Setting Up for a Harvest Rally? – Weekly Market Outlook: Jul 13–17

https://19-minutes.supercast.com Strong demand, tight projected stocks, and seven critical weeks of growing weather could create another major opportunity for corn and soybean producers. Chris Barron and Jeff Fichtelman break down why even a modest yield reduction could significantly tighten supplies, when a harvest-driven rally could develop, and why farmers should have firm offers ready before optimism takes over. They also discuss old-crop corn still weighing on the market, regional harvest basis opportunities, China’s continued soybean buying, lower nitrogen prices, and renewed uncertainty surrounding Russia and Ukraine. Could corn and soybeans get another meaningful rally, and how should farmers position themselves without getting greedy?

https://19-minutes.supercast.com Iowa State University economist Chad Hart joins The Ag View Pitch to break down the July 6–10 grain market outlook, including crop conditions after heavy rain, what stood out in the USDA acreage and stocks reports, record corn usage, soybean crush strength, renewable diesel demand, China trade expectations, and whether weather premium could create another pre-harvest marketing window.

#791 - USDA Acreage Report, Grain Stocks & Corn Price Risk - Weekly Market Outlook: June 29-July 3

https://19-minutes.supercast.com The June 30 USDA Acreage and Quarterly Stocks reports could set the tone for corn and soybean markets heading into July. In this week’s market outlook, Chris Barron talks with Jarod Creed about crop conditions across the Corn Belt, the possibility of larger-than-expected corn and soybean acres, old crop basis risk, soybean crush margins, weather premium, and what farmers need to understand before and after the USDA report. They also discuss why acreage may be more complicated than the market expects, how Kansas and South Dakota could have an outsized impact on national yield, why old crop and new crop marketing need to be managed differently, and how ARC, PLC, ECO, crop insurance, and other safety nets should factor into total revenue decisions. With corn prices already under pressure and the market watching weather, stocks, acres, and fund positioning, this is a timely conversation for farmers heading into one of the most important report weeks of the summer. #cornmarket #soybeanmarket #grainmarkets #USDAreport #acreagereport #grainstocks #farmmarketing #agriculture #cornprices #soybeanprices
