    Tuesday, September 8th, 2026- Craig Turner, Eric Snodgrass and Cory Bratland

    As we come out of the Labor Day weekend, we saw mixed action in the grain markets ahead of Friday's September WASDE report from USDA while money flow was strong in the cattle and hog markets to start the week. Craig Turner of StoneX joins Market Talk to break down a grain market that rallied hard through August and is now catching its breath ahead of Friday's September WASDE. Turner walks through why funds are record long corn and meal, why the next leg higher depends on how inelastic corn and soybean demand really is, and why the Black Sea remains the wild card for wheat. He also flags two things to watch into harvest: whether end users start buying aggressively now, and how the scramble for 2027 acres between corn, soybeans and winter wheat could reshape planting decisions. Harvest season is here, and meteorologist Eric Snodgrass (Nutrien Ag Solutions) joins Market Talk to break down a historically strong El Niño, a quiet Atlantic hurricane season, and why he expects tighter harvest windows and a volatile winter ahead. Snodgrass also makes a bold call on drought recovery by spring and flags a developing story out of South America worth watching. Also, Cory Bratland of AgMarket.net joins Market Talk with a full rundown ahead of Friday's September WASDE. He breaks down why harvest pressure is arriving fast as corn dries down quicker than expected, what the market is already pricing in for corn and soybean yields, and why the wheat market remains one headline away from a wild swing given the Black Sea situation. Bratland also covers a strong start to the week in cattle and hogs, the lingering uncertainty around beef import plans, and why new Canadian retaliatory tariffs could be quietly weighing on corn.
