#789 - Corn Selloff, Soybean Crush Margins & Wheat Harvest Risk - Weekly Market Outlook: June 22-26

In this week’s Market Outlook, Joe Paulson talks with Hugo vanRoessel of Cornerstone Ag Partners about the recent pressure in the corn market, the role of spreads and basis, and how producers should think through percent sold, revenue protection, and downside risk heading into the heart of summer. The conversation covers why the recent corn rally appeared to be more money-flow driven than demand-driven, how strong export demand is still supporting the corn market, and why seasonal pressure could remain a factor into August. Joe and Hugo also discuss soybean crush margins, Chinese demand risk, Brazil’s role in global soybean trade, and why soybeans have held together better than corn. The episode also looks at soft red wheat harvest, storage costs, carry, DP charges, and how wheat volatility can affect marketing decisions. Hugo also explains how tools like puts, min-max contracts, and accumulators can fit into a broader grain marketing plan when used in the right situations.

#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.
