#786 - New USDA Pass-Through Rules for Farmers: LLC, S Corp Payment Limits & FSA 902 Updates

USDA has released new guidance on qualified pass-through entity rules, and the changes could matter for many farm operations structured as LLCs, S corporations, partnerships, LLPs, and other farm entities. In this episode of The Ag View Pitch, Chris visits with Paul Neiffer to break down what the new USDA and FSA rules mean for farmers, including changes to payment limits, ARC and PLC eligibility, AGI testing, actively engaged rules, and the upcoming CCC-902E filing requirements. They discuss how LLCs and S corporations may now be treated more like general partnerships for USDA payment limit purposes, why C corporations are still limited differently, what the new AGI guidance means, and why farmers should be paying close attention to FSA deadlines for base acre updates and entity paperwork.  This episode covers new USDA qualified pass-through entity rules, LLC and S corporation payment limits, C corporation limitations, ARC and PLC program implications, AGI testing changes, FSA CCC-902E filing requirements, base acre update deadlines, actively engaged rules, and farm entity planning and compliance.

#785 - Bloody June for Grain Markets - Weekly Market Outlook: June 8-12

Corn and soybean markets have taken a sharp turn lower as fund selling, broken technical support, strong early crop conditions, and seasonal pressure weigh on prices. In this Weekly Market Outlook, Shay Foulk and Daniel Elsner discuss whether the May highs are behind us, what is driving the selloff, how corn and soybean acres could shape the next USDA reports, and why farmers need to stay one step ahead with their marketing plans. They also cover accumulator contracts, 2026 and 2027 opportunities, soybean crush margins, wheat pricing, and how producers should think about making sales after a major market drop.

#783 - Fund Selling Pressures Grain Markets - Weekly Market Outlook: Jun 1-5

As June begins, corn and soybean markets are shifting from geopolitics and outside-market headlines back toward weather, planting progress, basis, and supply expectations. In this episode of The Ag View Pitch, Chris Barron visits with Jeff Fichtelman to break down what farmers should be watching during the June 1–5 marketing week. They discuss old crop corn basis, how much grain may still be in farmer hands, why strong basis opportunities do not always line up with flat price, and how farmers can think through basis-only contracts. Jeff also explains why managed money fund positions matter, how fund selling can pressure nearby futures, and why the market may be vulnerable if speculators continue liquidating long corn and soybean positions. The conversation also covers wet conditions and replant concerns in parts of the Eastern Corn Belt, late planting risk, USDA yield expectations, new crop corn and soybean sales, harvest delivery bushels, cost of carry, and why emotion often gets in the way of good grain marketing decisions. For farmers looking at 2026 crop sales, old crop movement, harvest basis, or whether to price more corn and soybeans before summer weather takes over, this episode gives a practical look at the decisions that matter right now. Topics covered: corn prices, soybean prices, grain marketing, old crop basis, new crop sales, fund selling, managed money, Eastern Corn Belt planting delays, harvest bushels, cost of carry, crop insurance planting window, and June market outlook.
