What to expect from USDA's December Crop Production and World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) reports, which will be released on Friday, Dec. 9.

Friday's new three-month low in March corn contradicts corn's strong national basis and just made the marketing decision more frustrating. For this year's corn, the right answer may be different for each farm.

While the production side of corn's 2022 ledger is now fairly well understood, we can't yet say the same for the demand side of 2022-23.

I can't predict the future, but I know trouble when I see it.

The market's most practical clues are bullish for corn and soybean prices.

Many are questioning USDA's decision to keep their estimate of U.S. corn exports unchanged in November as early sales in 2022-23 are off to a pathetic start. Given the context of this year's markets, I lean toward USDA on this one.

What to expect from USDA's November Crop Production and World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates.

The world's population is growing and the push is on to minimize the use of carbon-based fuels. Standards of living have never been so good, but can we perpetuate the miracles that got us here?

The world's population will reach 8 billion in November, which means increased food production when current methods rely heavily on fossil fuels that many contend need to be reduced, all while there is a shrinking share of farmers.

Brazil's soybean crop isn't even half planted yet and traders are already concerned about its bearish impact on future prices. We have seen this before.

A hawkish Fed, tight supplies of crops, widespread drought and a megalomaniacal Russian President are tugging crop prices in different directions. How will this movie turn out?

Windex is great for cleaning windows, but it doesn't solve all our problems. If the Fed thinks higher interest rates are the primary cure for today's inflation, it is sorely mistaken.

What to expect from USDA's October Crop Production and World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) reports, which will be released on Wednesday, Oct. 12.

Corn and soybeans traded lower Thursday with a growing list of bearish concerns weighing on prices.

The five years of doing the DTN Digital Yield Tour has been a learning process, and the yield estimates appear to be getting more accurate.

What we expect from USDA's quarterly Grain Stocks report for Sept. 1 and the Small Grains Summary, which will be released on Sept. 30.

Outside market concerns about the effects of higher interest rates have been nagging grain prices all summer long. But higher interest rates won't produce the food and feed needed this winter.

Judging by their positions, noncommercials were much more bullish about HRW wheat prices in mid-May than they were in mid-July. It now looks like specs overreacted both times.
