Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Markets Now Closes - 3-4-26 Alan Brugler, A&N Economics
Q: What is the primary factor shaping demand outlook amid the Iran conflict?
Geopolitical risk tops the agenda, with the dollar, energy prices, and refinery/transport disruptions creating ripple effects that influence demand across grains, oil, and biofuels, though the fundamental driver remains the balance of supply and the need for physical corn, feed, and future planting intentions.
Markets Now Early 12-10-25 Jon Scheve, Scheve Grain
Q: What impact is the $11 billion for row crop farmers in terms of trade aid going to have on marketing decisions?
The aid will ease some concerns about cash flow for farmers, allowing them to continue operating until they can start planting their crops later in the season.
Markets Now Report Analysis - 12-9-25 Jim McCormick, AgMarket.Net
