    Wild wheat: What's behind the volatile markets?

    Tight global supplies have held up wheat prices since 2020 due to the surge of Chinese purchases, La Nina's influence on yields, Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and inflation. However, that price support is slipping. On Tuesday, May 2, Chicago wheat prices dropped to a 25-month low. Then prices whipped back on Wednesday and Tuesday. What's behind all the volatility? Is it Russia? Weather? Or something else entirely that farmers should keep an eye on? Tune in as Jacqueline Holland explains the current fundamentals influencing the wheat complex, and where prices could be headed as U.S. farmers get closer to harvest.

    How much longer will inflation plague farmers?

    Commodity prices are a leading indicator of inflation, and the commodity price surge in August 2020 was a telling sign that inflation was about to rip through the entire economy. Inflationary pressures are finally beginning to ease in other areas of the U.S. economy. While the slower pace of increasing prices may seem like a blessing for farmers, it is actually a bit more complicated than that – and potentially not quite as rosy. Tune in as Jacqueline Holland explains the relationship between commodity prices and inflation, the role of hedge funds, and the potential for "sticky inflation." Also, learn why it's more important than ever to focus on marketing plans and banking relationships during the 2023 growing season.

    Checking flooded acres out West

    Western flooding impacts agriculture in a big way. Recently Todd Fitchette, Western Farm Press, traveled to the Tulare Lake area of California, on the southern end of the San Joaquin Valley, to survey the damage. From flooded fields to relocated farms, the impact has beensignificant, and will be felt beyond season 2023. Then the podcast shifts gears and takes on the topic of medically important antibiotics and their availability to beef producers. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is promulgating new rules on the issue but the gist is that what was once available over-the-counter, will no longer be offered that way. Betty Haynes, Prairie Farmer, talks with Julia Herman, National Cattlemen’s Beef Association cattle specialist and veterinarian, about the issue.
