Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Oct 29 | Commodity Week
Q: What's the plan B for producers for you?
Shane Holtorf advises producers not to panic, to be patient instead of accepting harvest prices in a rush, and to consider cash sales while retaining potential upside.
Oct 29 | Commodity Week
Q: What's taken place in your opinion?
Garrett Toay attributes the market decline to geopolitical uncertainty, pressure on soybeans after the Brazilian election, the USDA's October report, and fund managers reducing positions after the market had rallied.
Oct 15 | Commodity Week
Q: How should a producer think about a rising marketplace, if that's what you think is going to happen for corn and soybeans, at least recovery after end of November, after the crop gets in the bin, and how quickly they need to open the bin doors back up in order to make sales?
Nellinger recommends holding physical grain in the near term, watching demand and South American weather, and considering a late-winter or early-spring rally as a potential selling opportunity. Zuzolo emphasizes supply-driven rallies as opportunities to hedge, while Blohm points to seasonal price windows and reminds farmers to plan when to sell stored crops.
Oct 15 | Commodity Week
Q: Tell me about this pennant you're looking at and which direction do you think it's going to break?
Blohm describes crude oil trading in a sideways pennant, with a possible long-term move toward $150 if geopolitical tensions intensify or toward $50 if conditions calm.
Oct 22 | Commodity Week
Q: How much demand is there in domestic usage, and can it support a move back higher out of these harvest lows?
Ted Seifried says soybean oil demand, particularly from sustainable aviation fuel and biofuel policies, is supporting strong crush margins and elevated processing. However, limited crush capacity and the need for soybean meal exports constrain how much domestic processing can offset weaker exports.
