Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Markets Now Early - 3-19-26 Joe Kooima, Kooima Kooima Varilek
Q: What about the leverage dynamics between producers and packers given recent events?
He notes that leverage swung due to events like the JBS situation and potential weekend kills; the packers may have short-term leverage, but over a few weeks the balance could shift back toward producers as margins and kill schedules adjust.
Markets Now Early - 3-19-26 Joe Kooima, Kooima Kooima Varilek
Q: Let's talk about the cattle market first off.
Joe explains a two-tiered market influenced by equities and energy, with cattle prices reacting to chart resistance and recent weak momentum, while auction barns show tight supply and cash differentials that could support some upside in weeks ahead.
Markets Now Early - 3-24-26 Vince Boddicker, Farmers Trading Company
Q: What role do EPA announcements and RVO policy play in current marketing strategies for corn and beans?
They could be pivotal; traders expect the EPA decision to influence availability and blending levels, which in turn affects end-user demand and price dynamics, especially for beans and soybean oil.
Markets Now Early - 3-24-26 Vince Boddicker, Farmers Trading Company
Q: Is the corn market movement largely tied to crude oil and energy headlines right now?
Yes, the host and guest agree that crude and energy headlines are a significant driver of corn, especially when refinery issues or geopolitical tensions affect supply chains and demand expectations.
Markets Now Early - 3-18-26 Brady Huck, Empower Ag Trading
Q: What factors are supporting or tempering the corn market this morning?
Stronger export demand, potential shifts in acreage, and energy prices (crude) are providing support, while technical resistance and a watchful eye on the Fed add a cautious tone to the rally.
