Market Commentary 

Good afternoon. Hope everyone enjoyed that warm weather earlier this week. It looks like we are going to be in a more seasonal pattern for the next week. We continue to see above-normal rain chances for the next week also.

Good afternoon. It sure has been another wild week in the corn market. Things started out higher to begin the week, but the market sentiment since Wednesday has been one of risk-off.

Good afternoon and welcome to March. It always feels good to have February in the rear view mirror. Daylight savings time starts this weekend, so don’t forget those clocks.

As we round out the week and month's end, the grain markets appear to be struggling. Yesterday, we had a first look into the 25/26 crop year with acreage and yield numbers published from the Ag Forum.

It was a quiet close to the week, with the bulls unable to hold momentum. CZ25 ran out of steam at $4.80 after an impressive two-month rally. We saw a fair amount of old crop and new crop corn sales from farmers this week, and rightfully so.

President Trump’s tariff talk has been the main headline again this week. He started off the week mentioning plans to put reciprocal tariffs in place and rounded out the week by revealing his plan for said tariffs.

Good afternoon once again. Wildcards seem to be the theme these days. Tariffs, weather, exports, domestic crush margins. Everything just seems to have a wildcard out there to be played.

Good afternoon. January is here and now gone. Another month just flew by. The grain markets had another big week of price action. We are hearing a lot of reports about bird flu. In Ohio this week, there were more than 4 million laying hens that were depopulate...

Good afternoon. Hope everyone was able to navigate the polar vortex this week. It made for a couple of slow days on the grain dumping front, that’s for sure, but on the news front, it sure has been a big week.

At the start of the week, the markets picked up right where they left off, but they calmed down as we approached midweek. We had a big risk-off day on Thursday, and then they went right back up to end the week.
