We saw a huge selloff in the grain markets on Friday as weather forecasts turned a little cooler and wetter than they had been earlier this week and that prompted traders to take some profit into the weekend. Plus, the Dow Jones was up sharply on Friday and livestock had a mixed tone. We discuss the end of the week in the trade and overall sentiment in farm country with Conner Bridgman and Brady Huck from Advance Trading Inc. and ATI Pro Media.
