In this live grain market update, Brian covers canola futures, wheat pressure, soybeans, bean oil, crude oil, the Canadian dollar, Prairie rain delays, and diesel quotes that are getting farmers’ attention. Then John DePape explains why basis may matter more than many farmers think, why local bid competition can create major price differences, and why separating futures and basis decisions can be a powerful crop marketing strategy.

Fertilizer Market Warning 2027: Trouble Is Building

Fertilizer prices, phosphate supply, and 2027 crop planning are already becoming major questions for farmers. In this Tuesday Cuppa Coffee livestream from What the Future’s Podcast, Ryan Denis is joined by Josh Linville of StoneX to break down the fertilizer market, including phosphate, potash, urea, China, the Strait of Hormuz, and whether farmers should lock in fall fertilizer or keep waiting. Josh explains why North America made it through spring 2026 better than some feared, why global fertilizer supplies are still tight, and what could cause phosphate prices to finally break lower. Ryan also covers canola, wheat, soybeans, oats, Prairie seeding delays, U.S. planting progress, and why farmers may need to “play financial defense” while markets are offering stronger pricing opportunities.
