Send us a text A massive winter storm is about to slam farm country with heavy snow, dangerous ice accumulation, and brutal winds — and producers have one more day to prepare. In today’s episode of Boots & Bushels, we break down exactly where the snow and ice are expected to hit, how bad it could get, and what it means for livestock operations, grain movement, trucking, rail, and rural power. We also cover today’s market settlements, including corn, soybeans, wheat, live cattle, feeder cattle, lean hogs, Class III milk, and crude oil — and what these moves mean as the storm approaches. Inside this episode: • Heavy snow zones across Nebraska, South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, and Wisconsin • Ice accumulation risks in Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio • How this storm could disrupt grain basis, feed deliveries, and livestock hauling • Corn finally ticking higher, soybeans staying soft, wheat bouncing • Choppy cattle markets, hogs catching a bounce, dairy slipping • Crude oil pulling back and what that means for farm input costs • Why this storm matters for winter wheat and spring soil moisture Whether you’re hauling grain, feeding cattle, milking cows, or planning spring inputs, this is the storm and market update you need before conditions deteriorate. Boots & Bushels is your daily look at the markets that feed America — covering agricultural markets, weather, livestock, energy, and ag news that actually matters to producers. winter storm farm country, ice accumulation Midwest, snowstorm Plains Midwest, agricultural markets today, corn futures, soybean prices, wheat futures, cattle markets, hog markets, dairy markets, crude oil prices, grain basis, farm weather, ag market update, Boots & Bushels, daily ag podcast, farm storm prep, livestock storm preparation, winter wheat moisture
