March 26, 2024 13:00 - 34 minutes - 24 MB

March 19th, the official first day of spring of this 2024 leap year, was followed shortly by some of the wettest and most wintery weather many have seen since harvest.

March 15, 2024 15:00 - 32 minutes - 22.6 MB

The 100th annual USDA Ag Outlook Forum took place February 15th and 16th, and the Department’s keystone event didn’t disappoint. Given current conditions and forecasts, analysts are expecting a record crop of corn, soybeans and wheat in 2024, which will further flesh out a global stocks figure that could continue to drive prices down. All of that, economists expect, could ead to the largest annual decline in farm incomes on record.  Today, DTN Farm Business Editor Katie Dehlinger joins us t...

E184: Battening Down the Hatches with the March WASDE

March 09, 2024 00:00 - 33 minutes - 23.3 MB

The March WASDE dropped Friday March 8th, and despite maintaining its status as a quieter report, a key announcement offered some support for soybeans, as other news of the week depressed wheat.  DTN’s Lead Analyst Todd Hultman joins us today to dig into the latest numbers, in particular some global figures, from USDA that provides updates to past soybean exports to China and maintains its discrepancy with Latin American figures on the potential for Brazilian crops.

On February 7th, 2024, a federal judge ruled that the EPA had unlawfully approved dicamba for over the top use in cotton and soybeans, leading to a ban for three dicamba-based weed killers for 2024. What exactly that would mean for growers who had already bought and paid for seeds and chemistry for the new crop was unclear, until the EPA issued an order a week later that allows for limited sales and distribution of these products that are already out of the manufacturers possession– what’s k...

E182: No February Lull for the Cattle Markets

February 20, 2024 20:00 - 26 minutes - 18.3 MB

The smallest cattle herd in the history of USDA reporting is currently standing in the US as we speak, and the reduced stock extends from feeder and grass calves all the way to heifers and bred cattle. On top of that, tough winter weather at the start of the year has curbed slaughter weights, making a beef market that’s still hungry for product even hungrier.  DTN Livestock Analyst ShayLe Stewart joins us today to discuss all of these bullish headwinds and much more, as we dive into the mos...

February 15, 2024 19:00 - 34 minutes - 24.1 MB

December 14, 2023 19:00 - 37 minutes - 25.7 MB

Though the December WASDE dropped Friday, December 8th, the neutrality and general lack of changes in the report meant that DTN’s Lead Markets Analyst Todd Hultman could focus more on his discussion at the 2023 DTN Ag Summit about the bigger picture in the markets and how it might drive markets in 2024 and beyond.  Today, we’re dropping in on Todd’s market forecast to hear more about how he sees the lingering effects of the global pandemic, the fluid situation in China, and the growing comp...

October 19, 2023 17:00 - 28 minutes - 19.3 MB

For nearly two years now, record high land sales have seemingly become a monthly or even weekly occurrence in the markets for agricultural acres — especially in the heart of the Corn Belt.

And there are a lot of factors, from the classic indicators like location and soils to ones that are much newer, and less well understood.  ...

E167: October WASDE in an Uncertain World

October 13, 2023 16:00 - 33 minutes - 22.7 MB

The October WASDE dropped Thursday, October 12th, and it wasn’t certain that it would, given the threat of a government shutdown that was narrowly avoided in recent weeks.

Agricultural markets are not seeing outsized impacts for the...

September 13, 2023 21:00 - 34 minutes - 24 MB

The September WASDE dropped Tuesday, September 12th, finding DTN’s Lead Analyst Todd Hultman on the road in Nebraska — talking with farmers about the disconnect between USDA’s prediction of a near-record corn crop and what growers see out in the fields.

The August WASDE dropped Friday, August 11th, coming on the heels of DTN’s Annual Digital Yield tour and of USDA’s most recent farmer surveys.

June 02, 2023 14:00 - 30 minutes - 20.7 MB

Over the last two decades, the US livestock industry has had some painful encounters with foreign animal diseases– from High Path Avian Influenza and its impact on the poultry industry to “mad cow” to the current looming fear of African Swine Fever.
