Market Talk Jesse Allen

On Monday, we saw the corn and soybean markets add more weather risk premium in with decent strength on the day. We were off the overnight highs as we saw wheat turn to the downside amid a new high in the U.S. dollar. The markets turn their attention to Monday afternoon's Crop Progress report and more importantly Tuesday's July WASDE report from USDA. Livestock market were mostly mixed on the day with cattle moving higher. We discuss the markets with John Heinberg of Total Farm Marketing. Learn more at https://www.totalfarmmarketing.com.

On Tuesday, we saw the USDA July WASDE report get released and it came in pretty much as expected. However, the markets didn't really react at all to the report as outside market pressure hammered grain and oilseeds on the day. We discuss what is going on in the trade and recap the July numbers with Matt Bennett of AgMarket.net.

Also, more than 40% of U.S. farmland is owned by people older than 65 and 3% are owned by foreign investors, which means younger generations are facing a real estate barrier to enter the agriculture industry as farmland prices surge and rising interests rates lead to more expensive mortgages. Curt Covington, senior director of partner relations at AgAmerica, joins Jesse Allen to discuss this topic. Learn more at https://www.agamerica.com.

We saw a hot inflation number this morning with the release of the CPI index. Inflation and money flow continues to be a factor as well as weather, supply and demand fundamentals and more.

Then at the end of the show; soybean cyst nematode (SCN) is a big problem for soybean growers across the country. It can be a very costly, yield robbing pest that we need to be aware of and watch out for closely. Iowa State University nematologist Greg Tylka joins us to explain what to look for and why it’s important to do a SCN root check. Learn more at https://www.thescncoalition.com.
