    The Calm Before the Storm? Why These 'Boring' Markets Could Explode in 2025

    In this eye-opening episode, Jon Prischmann and Ryan Tungseth dive deep into why current grain market calm might be deceiving, with a particular focus on corn's unusually low volatility.

Jon and Ryan share practical insights about protecting downside while maintaining upside potential, particularly relevant as corn trades near $4.40 with significant catalysts ahead. The episode wraps up with a broader market perspective, touching on the bearish soybean situation and a quick look at livestock markets, where record fund positions continue to drive price action.
